This cannot be done unless you have access to a mac, needed to access the mac store. I'm relatively certain this would be against the License for your anything. http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/128319/official-way-to-obtain-an-os-x-i so-file The post by stuffe This process means you need experience in Mac and Windows (Linux experience comes in handy), as you have to be able to download the installer and extract the .iso image. The point where [if I had a mac to do this] I would use a Linux live disk, but that would void all warranties and licenses.
"Apparently the license is interpreted as "you can virtualize OSX on Apple HW". An interesting take on how VMware uses Mac Minis with ESX to virtualize OSX for their building of Mac products: virtuallyghetto.com/2014/07/… Very interesting read!!"--I think this means there is a 'legal' way to do this via a loophole
This really isn't worth your time, there is no guarantee that this will work in virtualbox, and there are many Linux distros (free/open source) which mimic the look and feel of OS X, are faster, work with non-apple and some apple products, and you don't have to break the rules to use. You can even run them on a Mac. Check out elementary os http://elementary.io/, Ubuntu www.ubuntu.com you can make it look identical to mac or what I use, Debian (not recommended).
There are no loopholes, you may only run OS X on Mac hardware, no exceptions
My post can be used to make an installation disk, but don't mess with .isos unless you know what you're doing.
