In short - no. Mac OS X is designed for Mac hardware. While they use the same CPUs as most Windows PCs these days, you still need drivers for all the other hardware.

There is software out there that will completely wipe out the hard drive to nothing but 0s and 1s. Use one of these programs and then reinstall the mac software on the computer. You may have to turn of the computer and restart it with the CD still in the drive.

Absolutely not. Mac OS X only runs on Mac hardware, they've locked it down so you can't buy a cheap PC and stick their OS on it. You need to pay the extortionate amount of money Apple demand for their machines if you want to use OS X.

all i know is that my college suite mate did it. And he was really good with computers. So it is possible, but probably won't run 10% as well as the MAC OS would on an actual MAC.

Well there is a way, but it is very difficult and is mainly experimental as many of the mac software will not work correctly.

I have a diskt that will do that for you, (if you have an AMD processor) but when i put it in, nothing happens. I know its possible, just that its gonna be a pain in the butt to get to work.
Good Luck tho, and if you find a way to do it, let me know!

Yes, but you would need to be really good with computers and basically do something illegal.
