I think that your problem is indeed related with Bcd, and the mess happened when you installed Snow Leopard: i think you forgot to disconnect your Windows disk when you first installed Snow Leo, and now the old bootloader survives in your Windows HD, and it doesn't matter how many times you reformat your OSX disk.

My best advice would be, if you have all your data securely backed up, to erase windows, reinstall it (remember to disconnect the OSX disk, if it still there) and then disconnect the Windows disk and install Lion with the latest chameleon.
Yeah, but I told you earlier that I tried your method about disconnecting Windows 7 when Snow Leopard was installing and than my usb mouse refused to work. Oh well, I should quit looking into trying to get Lion to boot with Windows. I mean I had other problems such as audio being out of sync and Apps folder would mess up and not save apps. Is Lion osx suppose to be as buggy as it was for me or does it just really hate my Amd cpu? I would like to some how get hacked 500 series 570 drivers for snow leopard but none exist that I know of. That would probably make things much more simpler for me.
