This is how it worked for me on my PC and I am not sure if it will work on your PC or not. I am not responsible for any damages (highly unlikely) which you may get.
My PC specifications
Spoiler (Click to View)
AMD Phenom II x4 920
ATI HD 3300
Seagate 500 GB Hard drive
Biostar TA790GX 128M
Kingston 4 GB (2*2) RAM
Windows 7 x64 already installed
NoteSpoiler (Click to View)
Please enable "AHCI" support in your BIOS, otherwise Snow Leopard will not boot (If you have installed Windows 7, without AHCI support, then you may have to reinstall it).
Here we go

Step 1: Download "Snow Leopard Client-Server 10.6.2 SSE2/SSE3 Intel AMD". Just search for it on Google and you will find it.
Step 2: Burn it to a DVD at the lowest speed possible like I did it using Nero at 4x.
Step 3: Pop in the drive in your PC and do a reboot. An alien like background will come up, just press any key and it will soon load up.
Step 4: Select your language and do the other things like accepting the agreements.
Step 5: Click on "Utilities" on the top menu and select "Disk Utility". Select the partition on which you want to install Snow Leopard and then format it using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Give it a easy name such as "Snow".
Step 6: After doing this select the drive, and now you come to the "Customize". Here select the following which I have written below:
Legacy Kernel 10.2.0
AMD Patch
Choose your graphics card (I didn't choose any as mine wasn't there)
AppleAzaliaAudio (I chose this, you should try Voodoo HDA v2.5.3)
ATIATA
ElliottForceLegacyRTC
Legacy AHCI SATA Fix
LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA
IOATA Family SATA Fix
About This Mac Fix
Evoreboot
IOATAFamily Fix
Orange Icon Fix
SMBIOS Resolver
Rosetta
Step 7: Click on "Install" and skip the disk verification. It should install successfully. Reboot.
Note: Below are the solutions for the errors which I experienced post reboot. You may or may not experience them.
Error 1: I got a screen saying this:
To resolve this, enter your disc, press F8 and browse through the drives till you find Snow, click enter and you should hopefully boot into Snow Leopard. But since you can not use Snow Leopard without inserting your DVD, just follow the below steps to resolve this error:
Step 1: Boot into Windows using the Snow Leopard installation DVD and download EasyBcd.
Step 2: Goto the option "Add/Remove Entries" and goto the Mac option and add a new entry for Snow Leopard. Choose the x86 PC option and name the entry as Snow Leopard. Save all this by clicking on Save.
Step 3: Insert your Windows 7 Install disk so you can repair the PC and the bootloader. If you can't reboot into Windows still, then insert the disk and this time instead of using Startup Repair use the last option ie. the Command Prompt option. Here type in the following commands:
You should now be able to boot into Windows but on clicking the option to boot into Snow Leopard you get a Chain Booting Error, now download the attachment:
Goto your Windows 7 drive (assuming its C) then boot into Windows, then goto C drive and then the "NST" file, make a backup of your original "nst_mac.mbr". Now unzip the file and rename tboot as "nst_mac.mbr" and paste it in "C:/NST", that is replace the original file.
Reboot and you should get the Chameleon bootloader and click on the Snow drive icon, finally you can boot into Snow Leopard without the DVD.

Thank you for reading and I hope it will help you to have a successful hack. It would not have been possible to install Snow Leopard without the support of the community, so thank you all!
