It will not run osx unless you know how to make a hackintosh, and modifying an existing OSX vanilla installation is NOT an easy route.

I don't know if there is a topic on this... But, if I have a MacBook Pro (Mid - 2009) and a PC. Can I take out the hard drive from the MacBook and put it in the Windows PC? Will it run Mac OSX?

(Windows in this case, would be installed on a Desktop.)

I think what your asking, is if you can get mac OSX on your pc just by moving the drive, sadly no, however, if you do want mac on your pc, you can always visit http://tonymacx86.comfor hackintosh information
