can't get EasyBCD and Chameleon to play together

I installed OS X Snow Leopard on my primary drive, with Chameleon 2.0 RC3. I tweaked it for a few weeks and now it seems to be running well.

 

I decided to install Win 7 on a secondary HD to play some PC games. Well, the installer didn't like that, it wanted Windows to install on the first drive in the system. I swapped the SATA cables around so that the Win7 HD was SATA0.

 

Windows 7 installed fine. Now I need to get a boot loader that can see both and boot both.

 

I installed EasyBCD in Win7 and added a Mac boot entry. It won't boot the Mac entry. It never asked me which HD the Mac OSX install was on. I installed the latest beta of EasyBCD 2.0, because it claims to understand the Mac EFI boot setup. Still, nothing. I have no idea how to point the Windows boot loader at Chameleon, and I have no idea how to get Chameleon to be the master boot loader when Windows will only run on the primary drive.

 

Almost everything I read about dual booting deals with one HD having >1 partitions. Is there ANY way I can dual boot this way? I specifically did it this way because I thought I read somewhere that this was easier, but now it seems impossible. HELP!
