Oh, I just saw that you're using an SATA DVD-ROM. This is often problematic. I recommend IDE for DVD-ROM and OS X boot drive. If you can't connect the DVD to IDE, maybe try it using on an USB port, at least for an installation.

Do you want to use a combined harddisk for Windows and OS X? I can only recommend seperated harddisks. It is possible that you can't change partitions in Windows on an drive which was used once in the Mac's Disk Utility, at least I had the problem using with Partition Magic 8. I only could change partitions again after deleting the MBR which means complete data loss. If you partition harddrives in GUID partition table (which is default for Intel Macs) it may possible that it's not possible to boot from them anymore, even after rewring the MBR. I had this problem several times.

60 GB are much too less for OS X. For testing purposes it may work, but not if you want to have fun with OS X. My system uses actually 57 GB virtual memory. I'm using complete different boot and data harddisks. You can take a look at my installation guide.
