Is it possible to run bootcamp on Hackintosh?

I install Snow Leopard on my PC using Chameleon boot CD and a Retail Leopard DVD, everything is running fine except when I click on Boot Camp Assistant, it is saying I need to download some firmware to run...

Anyone got thoughts on this?
TIA

Boot Camp is for Apple hardware only. Your PC already has the ability to run Windows natively.

Boot Camp is just a shiny interface to repartitioning your drive, it is not like VMWare, get VMWare or parallels or vbox or whatever if you want that.

Now there is a replacement for boot camp assistant in Snow if you would like to try:
