Create bootable OS X from Windows?

Hi

my macbook pro starting giving me troubles when trying to open any webpage. I erased the harddrive and tried to re-install the OS through WIFI and an error message pops up.

when I try to open a webpage (through helkp online) a key chain error comes out.

is there a way I can download Mac os x on windows in order to create a bootable disc?

I remember once a read an article about hackintosh.
Long story short, the only step which required a mac was creating the bootable disc image.
I could be wrong however.

From what I understood, you want to boot 2 operating systems on 1 machine.
You may wanna look into 'parallel windows' for that.

You can boot a Linux live CD on a Mac.
You could also install Windows next to OSX (if you have place) and dual boot, using boot camp, it is more complicated though.
Mac on PC is a big hack, but also can be done with enough time and patience.
Maybe if you connect and external DVD drive and use the OSX DVD, would it work?
It should not be too hard to get your hands on it, no? You can download it using bittorrent. As a Mac owner, you might even be entitled to use it, as per your license.

Are you trying to download OS X using the recovery partition or Internet Recovery Mode?
