    I found a site that says how to set up Mac OS X on a usb drive and be able to use it on a pc. Here is the site, www.uneasysilence.com/os-x-proven-hacked-and-running-on-an-ordinary-pc/
    I personally don't know how to do all this so if you could elaborate on it and give more details it would help, thanks.

    Could you help with this then, in the ""
    Note: If you are installing this in a PC and have multiple drives, you dont need to use an external drive or linux distro. "Simply dd the image in the same manner to any physical drive in your pc, and when its done boot to that drive and it should work. For windows users, there is a port of dd for windows you can use here."
    Because I do have two internal hdd's in my laptop.

    you dont need anything hacked for mac os x to run on a mac intel machine. you can use bootcamp or parallel for your xp.

    but bootcamps driver disk doesn't work in media center edition that is why you need to install a hacked version
