Dual Boot WIN7 & Snow Leo

Can somoene please provide a guide or instructions to dual boot SL and W7

I currently have them both installed and can only boot to either one using the chameleon boot cd.


Windows 7 I did try to repair the MBR but it tells me it can't repair it

once in windows using the chameleon boot cd I try to use the BCD it tells me that it can't find the drive that has boot record and it won't go further.

once in SL i go to terminal and type

sudo -s

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0

p
f2
w
y
q

this seems as if its making a particular partition active but then when i try to boot it just shows me a blinking cursur which means its not finding the boot drive.


I partitioned the 1TB drive to install both SL and W7

EFI Partition 200MB
Mac Partition 200GB
W7 Partition 741GB

installed SL from Retail DVD
after install complete reboot and installed Chameleon.

reboot

installed windows 7
after installed reboot

and tried to go in to windows 7 using the chamelen boot cd and then installed Easy BCD and can't install it

tried to boot again in to SL using chameleon and did the terminal work

and it still refuses to boot-


Can someone please assist me?


Thanks
