Multiboot on same drive

I have installed snow leopard with chameleon rc3 and PC-EFI 10.3. I would like to install windows 7 on the same hard drive in a new partition. But when i do so it overwrites the Chameleon bootloader and only windows boots.
Can someone help me to restore the OSX bootloader again

How did you install Chameleon initially? Just reinstall it to your SL boot partition?

Core2Quad / MSI P45 Neo2-FR / HD4870 / Snow Leopard

if you have Chameleon installed on the snow partition, use Diskpart in windows. if you don't no how...

PS: i have dual boot on same hdd , diff partitions with win7 and leo...but chameleon is installed on an usb stick with the needed extra folder and it's set from bios to boot the usb stick first.

open a commander terminal (win+r...type cmd...hit enter) and type:
->diskpart
->list disk
!!! if you have more than one hdd select the hdd on with is installed snow
->select disk $
!!! $ is the number of your disk, i have disk 0 and 1...in my case is select disk 0
->list partition
->select partition &
!!! & is the number of your snow partition
->active
!!! if it says that "active" is not recognized type "set active"

now reboot and you should be able to select snow or win
