Hi Ak,
I think you're a little confused. To move to Mac means to change your hardware to Mac too.
Although the operating system is kind of cheap it technically can't be loaded onto other systems other than Mac. The OS install disk will recognise that you are attempting to install to a non-mac machine and fail.
Your laptop is good for many other operating just not mac.
Try Ubuntu, Sabayon, Linspire but not Mac as you will just waste your money if you do not have a valid machine to place it onto.
