Need help getting from iDeneb to retail SL

Briefly: I recently managed to get my dual-booting Win7/iDeneb 10.5.5 system up and running. I'm using EasyBCD to manage the bootup. To get things working, I created one FAT and one HFS+ partition using GParted, then installed iDeneb 10.5.5, then installed Win7, then installed EasyBCD.

My understanding is that in order to use a vanilla, retail SL disc for my installation, I need an EFI partition in which to load some kind of bootloader. However, near as I can tell, I don't have one of those. It appears that all I have on my single HD is the NTFS partition, where Win7 resides, and the OS X partition.

So. I'm looking for some advice on getting from Point A to Point B. I have no idea how to use Chameleon or Boot-132 or similar tools, but I'm willing to Google 'til my fingers bleed to figure that part out, if that's what I need to do. But I'd love to get a little direction on the best way to tackle this problem before I get started.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
