Partition hosed...

Hey y'all- I've got a particular situation that has rendered my hackintosh unable to boot into either os (windows 7/OS 10.6.1). Essentially, I used gParted to move Snow Leopard up in "Free Space" territory to stretch it out for more room (pretty much taking the place of my old 10.5.7).

Turns out, after doing so, Chameleon won't load- Windows 7 install disk wont even let me use diskpart to try and flag the 7 partition. I'm pretty much in a PC that wont boot either way.

SO, my solution is to try one of the new boot132 cd's with 10.6 support and try to use it as a efi loader. Is this even possible? I know alot of people use it to boot the retail DVD of snow- just wondering if it can boot HD's as well.

As always, love this community and thanks for any and all help!

EDIT: My specs are below and I'm using a GUID Partition Table if that helps.

OS: Windows 7 RC / OS X 10.5.7 / OS X 10.6 ()
Board
: Gigabyte EP45-UD3R
CPU: Intel Q6600
Video: MSI N9600GT OC 512MB
RAM: Corsair 2x2GB DDR2 800
