How do I get a Mac OS X Leopard to run from an external hard drive on a Windows Computer?

I recently installed Mac OS X on an external hard drive.
I wish to boot it on a Windows computer,
I have checked the BIOS and had it configured so that it runs from the USB Drive,
but it’s not loading, the only visible object on the monitor is a blinking underscore key.

How do I make a bootable OS X external hard drive using a Windows machine?

I am trying to make a bootable external hard drive to install OS X 10.5.6 onto a netbook, but I don’t have a Mac.

Are there any Open Source Software for backing up my documents onto a hard drive at a certain time every day?

I recently bought a new external hard drive after my old one crashed. My old one came with a program that would automatically back up my files at a certain time every day. My new hard drive came with a few programs like that one – but they all cost money. I was wondering if there were any Open Source or free programs that I could download to use.
