So I've heard of machines like Hackintoshes, but I don't want to build a whole separate system just to do a few things in OSX. Is it possible to just install OSX on my second hard drive and dual boot it with Windows?

1That is the very definition of Hackintosh... installing OS X on a PC. It is against Apple's EULA & totally off-topic for SuperUser.– TetsujinAug 13, 2015 at 17:21

If you want to do just a few things, perhaps try a virtual machine.– MC10Aug 13, 2015 at 17:22

@Tetsujin I didn't realize that. I'll do a VM. Thanks.– Doug AbbottAug 13, 2015 at 17:24

VM on non-Apple hardware is also against Apple EULA...– TetsujinAug 13, 2015 at 17:25

Questions about running OS X on non-Apple hardware ("Hackintosh") are off-topic because of the questionable legality of doing so. See Are "Hackintosh" questions allowed?– bwDracoAug 15, 2015 at 23:14

NO. Not Legally.
Apple OSX license Agreement: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/OSX10103.pdf
Relevant Text:
...you are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer...
And for the virtual world:
...to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control...
