Have you tried InsanelyMac, or TonyMac? They're probably the two most detailed sources about OSX86 machines. Make sure you know everything about your PC's specs, since it simply may not be compatible and another operating system may have to be selected in replacement of OS X on Windows. It's not an easy thing to install for the most part, but good luck and check both of those sites. They both have forums as well and the regulars on them should know a lot more about what you want to do than the majority of us. :)

The guys at Tony mac are really helpful, Maybe its how you worded your post or even the question you are asking. Give me the link and I'll see what the problem is.

My configs are: Intel Core i5 2410M....MEMORY 4 GB....HDD 500 GB...512 MB nVidia 410 M GPU...Atheros A3011 Bluetooth Adapter...Alps- Pointing devices for VAIO..nVidia High Definition Audio.....this is all or do u also need something else?

hmm that nvidia chipset might fare off well, look into the osx86 wiki for a hardware compatibility list

I had the same problem on my toshiba, I used multi beast Lion version and installed kexts for keyboard and mouse and it's fixed

You may also want to check the osx86project website. I got a lot of information there when I was doing this. Finally gave up and bought a MacBook Pro, though. However, I can understand why you are trying to do so with your VAIO.

Thanks for understanding..actually i have tried OS X Lion on vmWare and i fell in love with it..i mean the app accession, the fluidity of the OS is superb!
