See that's what I was thinking. I still want to get into mac on vmware though to put the iso on the thumb drive, because I need a mac to do it in the first place. Any idea how to fix my vmware error?
Cool! But why do you need mac to burn the iso?
I'm kind of confused. First I looked at something that said I needed a mac to put the iso onto the usb stick, and I saw something else that said I can just drag and drop the iso into my thumb drive, another one that said I need poweriso to put it on, and another one said I just had to use a program like winzip to extract the iso onto the thumb drive. Anyone want to help me out here?
I'd try this one from HP. It's not exactly intended for this, but it should work from what I hear. There's a really nice utility for this from Pendrive Linux. It is made for Linux, however. I have used it for some linux utils and it works great. I would try it here and see if it works.
THE HP ONE DOESN"T SUPPORT WIN7 OR VISTA. I'd try the Pendrive Linux one first.

If not, try and see of you can restart a legit Mac (Many schools have old macs) to see if it works on the different hardware.
I just extracted it, and it seemed to have work. I got one error on this really tiny file, but not the main one. Also, I'm homeschooled, so my school doesn't have a mac.

Well, I do have ubuntu installed on my computer. I could use pen drive linux then, right?

Re: Dual Booting
I just tried to boot off of it, and it said "error, could not boot os." I just tried to use pen drive linux, and the thing is, it's only to install linux isos. I have one more idea that I can try.

Re: Dual Booting
I've never dual-booted a Mac on a Windows machine, but I have been able to run Mac OS X in VMware Player (I was not successful with VirtualBox). I don't think I had to play with the settings at all, either. I did have to torrent a specialised ISO of Leopard that would work on a VM, because regular versions of OS X won't. I can't remember what is was though, sorry.

Would it happen to be OSx86? I'm trying that now. The thing is, all of the tutorials I found to dual boot, required a mac to do it in the first place. If I can get mac working in vmware, then I should be able to dual boot. The thing is, when I try to run it in vmware I get the error "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine." I can't seem to figure that out. I'm downloading OSx86 now, and maybe that'll work.

Re: Dual Booting
I did it with iDeneb on my old HP laptop... Then my laptop broke. But it was a motherboard issue; nothing to do with os x.

Re: Dual Booting
Of course, that was actual dual-booting; installed to a new HDD partition. I couldn't get it to work in VirtualBox (all I tried for VMs)

Re: Dual Booting
I honestly can't remember, although that sounds somewhat familiar.

Re: Dual Booting
Yeah, I've dual booted with Ubuntu and Kubuntu. Never Mac OS X, although I'd like to try at some point.

Re: Dual Booting
Yeah.
I might want to try using some version of Darwin at some point as well.

Re: Dual Booting
Haha.
An 800 MB file takes about 15 minutes for me to download regularly.
To torrent the same file takes like five.
