Getting Mac ISO On Windows
First off, I am not asking how to get a Mac ISO illegally. I want to run mac on my windows in pearpc, and I have a leopard disc, but when I put it in my machine, it shows as a boot camp drivers disc. Is there any way I can get an OSX ISO off of the disc?

Can you configure PearPC to boot from the CD in the host CD drive?

EDIT: When I installed Windows 2000 in VirtualBox running on Windows XP, I ignored all the "autorun" stuff that occured when I put the Windows 2000 CD in the CD drive and was able to boot of the CD in my Win2k VirtualBox environment just fine.

Peace...

Ok, based on the PearPC doc, it doesn't look like you can boot from the CD. Have you tried what the PearPC doc mentions about using a Mac OS X CD for installing?

He's not really wanting to install OS X natively on his computer but in a virtual environment. Technically, I think you're right. Installing OS X in a virtual environment would violate the AUP since PearPC isn't "branded" by Apple.
