I have 2 hard drives (a 1tb and a 500gb), 1 has windows 8.1, and the other one is wiped clean. I want to install Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard on the other. How do I do that?

PLEASE HELP

You can't as it needs a completely new driver set and BIOS setup.

You can however use a VirtualMachine, like VMware or similar.

If you have the disc ISO that method works best.

Mac OSX works on most Intel platforms, it requires work to get it though.

What are your specs? @OP

You can try VMware I use it personally for back track 5. But, if you download an OSX iso it will be usable on VMware.

You can many use Linux as a secondary operating system to Windows. Also Mac OS X users can use bootcamp to dual boot windows.

You can install as many as you want as long as you have the space for it.

I have Mac OS x as my original system and Windows as my virtual operating system.
I just used virtual box and a torrent.
