Installing Mac OS X on PC HELP!!
I've been trying to install Mac OS X on my PC for a while, but I keep running into problems. Can someone please tell me step by step how to do this 100% free, with all of the needed downloads?
Thanks!

Your gonna need to download a lot sometimes, and sometimes you won't. Try wiki.osx86project.org.
Freebie. Not a Scratch OS, a REAL OS you can boot to, by msdosdude.

Re: Installing Mac OS X on PC HELP!!
It's possible, but it requires very specific hardware, since Mac OS X is designed to work only on Apple hardware. I've tried installing Mac OS X in VirtualBox before, but it didn't work out too well. Just Google around, you'll find stuff.
Yawn.

I have Snow Leopard on Vbox, and Lion as my main OS.
It shouldn't be too hard with virtualisation but I don't know how hard it would be to install it on a separate partition

I assume you're running Lion on a Mac? 
It's more difficult for us people with non-Apple PCs to install Mac OS X, even with virtualization; if you want to install it directly onto a non-Apple PC, it requires even more specific hardware.

THAT IS INCORRECT
Plenty of people have gotten Mac OS X to work on non-Apple PCs; just Google around. (I like that term XD)
Yawn.

Some of the tutorials make you use BIOS to force in the OSX but I don't think you need to do that 
And yes, I'm running Lion on a Mac.
