How to make a bootable USB with OSX on a pc?

[etzach]

Hi guys,
The hard drive on my MacBook got busted, so I had to buy a new one.
Usually, after mounting the new hard drive into my Mac I would just insert the OSX install cd to the optical drive and start installation. Unfortunately, my optical drive is broken and does not read any cd's.
What I had in mind was trying to get the operation system Installed from a USB flash. From what my google thought me I found out that I need to have a dmg file of OSX (got it), a 8 gb usb flash drive (got it) and disk utility access, so that I can restore the drive ( or something like that, I didn't fully get it).

The only problem is- this is my only Mac, all other computers I have are pc, so I dont have disk utility.

Is there any way in which I can do the necessary step that is done by Disk utility on a PC?

Thanks in advance.

Several apps should be able to do that. That is for DVDs but should be the same for USB stick.

The methods mentioned are regarding DVDs, as you said. How can I apply it on a USB stick? What I need to do is a disc image and then have it on my USB stick?

Just select USB stick as the target, it shouldn't need more than that.
