Welcome!

PearPC is PowerPC emulator that doesn't allow running Mac OSX for Intel processors. It allows you to run Mac OSX 10.3 and (limited) Mac OSX 10.4, but not Leopard. I believe your error is related to that. So, please first make sure you have a correct OSX dvd image.
PearPC is also rather slow, so depending on what programs you'd like to run, it might prove more or less useless.

If you have a spare hard disk and a current PC, you might consider taking a look at http://www.insanelymac.com to run OSX natively on your computer.

You can create an .iso file with the files you want to transfer and mount that instead of the install iso.

Visit this page:

Step 9 shows how to add drive images to your setup.

If you don't know how to create an ISO file in Windows, google these terms to find free software that will help you do it.

create iso

But then , my UltraISO and MagicISO cannot create CDs that are usable in a Macintosh . How we're going to get it now?
