I have an Intel Quad core PC with a 500Gig HD running Vista. Can the HD be erased and Mac OS X be installed? Or maybe replace the HD.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I don't mean to insult, and if you take the time to read all about it, anyone can learn how to do it but I don't want you to think that it is easy.
ssharon was correct in refering to "hackintosh" because you are litterally having to hack it into working. The company that he mentioned Psystar does this commercially. The thing is, they have a limited hardware set that they have a practiced routine for making those exact machines work, trying to hack one together with you exact hardware will be tough. Do-able but tough.

For more information about how to complete the installation I would include the word "hackintosh" in your search queries.
For more information on whether installing OS X on generic hardware will continue to be prohibited I suggest following the current case of Psystar v. Apple.
