Creating a bootable usb/disc on windows, am I stupid

“So, I went back to VMWare Workstation 7(tried getting it running before, didn't succeed). This time I downloaded a Mac OSX VMWare image (for anyone else reading search for Mac.OSX.Leopard+VMware.Workstation-TeamWersaq, I'm sure you'll find …”

“Thanks, had almost given up... I thought a boot loader was included in the iAKTOS release, but I guess I was wrong? Anyway, took a look at Chamelon but all guides expect you to install it onto the usb from inside OS X. Is there anyway to do…”

“Thanks a lot, I have no idea how I haven't found that page already, been googling like mad... I followed the guide in your first link, it was just sick though, took 5 (!) hours for dd.exe it to extract the iso file to the usb drive. Finally…”

“Thanks, but I can't burn the iso to a disc, since the netbook I'm trying to install OS X on haven't got a dvd drive. I need to create a bootable usb.”

“I did some more searching and the reason seems to be that windows doesn't recognize most of the files in the iso. Well, so far neither PowerISO, WinRar nor Daemon Tools doesn't seem to recognize most of the files in the iso(s), but MagicISO…”
