How do i instal OSX snow leopard in PC?

Ok i want a mac on my pc to test some software i am coding.

I tried to download few torrent builds nothing worked.

My pc is Intel e8400 cpu , 8gb ram and asus p5k MB

I have new hard disk for MAC but all this retail dvd not even showing installation screen.

But i did Virtual Machine workstation and install snow leaopard inside with 40gb space.

But that os inside do not see all my other empty hard drives. I am kind of stuck.

How do i instal OSX snow leopard? DOes i have to instal OSX in pc first and how?

Why not install OSX snow leopard like osx 86?.

Any help and comments appreciated.

Google "myhack installer" and read about doing that.

It's by far the best way to install Snow Leopard. The only downfall is that you must already have a Mac in order to make the USB/HD image.

Good luck.

Try using NTFS 3G if you want read/write access to you HD.

If you are looking to install Snow Leopard nativly, then try Empie EFI, it does require you to have a retail DVD.
