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?

    That is the very definition of Hackintosh... installing OS X on a PC. It is against Apple's EULA & totally off-topic for SuperUser.

  • If you want to do just a few things, perhaps try a virtual machine.

  • @Tetsujin I didn't realize that. I'll do a VM. Thanks. Aug 13, 2015 at 17:24
  • VM on non-Apple hardware is also against Apple EULA...

  • 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?

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...
