Hackintoshing is not that simple. You cannot simply use a Mac to make a booting OS X disc, throw that in a PC, and expect it to work. In fact, that method will deal with hardly any of the problems of getting OS X to work. (You know, like, no EFI, no SMC, etc)

no that was for asking for a website link for a download, this is perfectly legal what i am doing as i am install snow leopard on an external hard drive, then booting the external hard drive on a PC, therefore it is perfectly fine.
To.Many.Commas.
It can't be done the way you want to do it. And if you do it the hackintosh way, it's still technically, "illegal".
FAIL
It is against the EULA to run Snow Leopard on a non-Apple PC, regardless of how you install it. You won't get help with it here.
If you want help go to a site like insanelymac where they are more hepful to hackintoshes.
Technically, i am not running it on a non apple machine, because i am running the external hard drive, which is running snow leopard, therefore, i also can just buy a time capsule, wipe it out, install snow leopard on it, then boot onto a pc, there, it is running on an apple machine. happy now that i explained every thing to u?
I doubt that excuse would fly with the Apple legal people. Waste of time anyway since even if you install on an external HD it won't simply boot on a regular PC; you're obviously not clear on what's involved in booting OSx. You'd do better on insanelymac.com since they help people with hackintoshes.
I think the OP is simply a troll.

Umm the machine it is running on is the one containing the CPU that is executing the code.
It is installed on a storage device, that is fine. But connecting that storage device to a PC and booting breaks the EULA.
