There seem to be a lot of questions on how to get these two to play nicely. I assume this will work for Snow Leopard too but I haven't tried that.

 

1. Plug in Mac HDD, unplug all other HDDs

2. Install Mac OS X 10.5.x like you would normally. Complete Installation fully.

3. Install Chameleon 2.0 RC2 by downloading and running the installer (Google it for a link).

4. After testing your Mac side, shut off computer, unplug Mac HDD, plug in Windows HDD.

5. Install Windows 7 like you would normally. Complete Installation fully.

6. After testing your Windows side, shut off computer, plug all HDDs back in.

7. Start up computer.

 

If you boot into Windows 7 right away, that means you put the Windows HDD in the first SATA slot. When booting up, go into the BIOS settings and change the boot order for the HDDs so the Mac one goes first.
