From Months ago, i want to install MAC OS X on a virtual machine to try this beautiful OS ever :)
i said that because i'm a IPhone user from 3 years.

The Steps :
1- Download Snow Leopard Mac OS X iso from any torrents or ftps.
i used : Snow.Leopard.10.6.1-10.6.2.SSE2.SSE3.Intel.AMD.iso

2- Download boot-able iso for Mac from this link
and Extract the contents into specific folder.

3- Open Folder extracted and open Mac "OS X Server 10.6 (experimental).vmx" with notepad app.

4- Change the line of ("guestos = "darwin10") with this line ("guestos = "darwin10-64")
and save the file

5- now open VMWare (i used vmware workstation 7 ) and click on the file "OS X Server 10.6 (experimental).vmx" to open the virtual machine settings.

6- edit the CD/DVD player for the Virtual machine to be an ISO file located in the CD
"darwin_snow.iso", like this image:


7- Run the Virtual Machine, it will boot and ask you to press the "option" button, ignore and press F8. You will have this menu:
8- DO NOT take any action, now right-click on the most right bottom CD/DVD icon in the VMWare workstation and select settings.
- Change the ISO redirecting file for the DVD into the Snow Leopard ISO file downloaded from the first step (Make sure "Connected" check box is checked).
- Press OK

9- Still the VM is waitng for your choice, now press inside the VM itself and type "C" to boot from the installation DVD. :)

10- Now you will install MAC OS X into the Windows 7 :)
here is my screen shot:

11- After the installation finished, the OS X VM will restart, now change the DVD ISO pointing to see the "darwin_snow.iso" included (As step 6). and restart the VM again.
(Note: you have to point this ISO every time you start the VM), i know it's a bad thing to have but i believe that having OS X VM deserves. :)

12- Now configure your OS X with me :) , my screenshot:
