Stuck.

So i'm trying to dual boot windows 7 and leopard on my amd pc. After I partition my hard drive for leopard(not sure if I did it correctly or not) I boot with my leopard disk(iATKOS v1i). After the installer loads it does not detect any hard disks. So I cant install leopard because it wont detect my hard disk or the partition I just made. So I exit the osx installer and restart. I remove the leopard install disk after I restart and now all I get is "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER." I can put the leopard disk back in and im back where I was before. I can not figure out how to boot back to windows 7 because where it usually gave me the option of either boot to "windows 7" or "older version of windows" no longer shows up. It immediately takes me to the message "Remove disks or other media" followed by the DISK BOOT FAILURE message. I have tried booting from my windows 7 disk but it still takes me to those messages. Any help will be greatly appreciated, I do not want to have to lose everything.

No one? This is really bugging me.

You have to boot into the 7 install disk, choose repair, go to cmd, type:

 

diskpart

list disk

select disk (wherever 7 is)

list partition

select partition (wherever 7 is)

active

 

After that restart. If it still won't boot str8 to 7, boot DVD again, repair, and then it should come up with something and say restart and automatically repair, click yes. Then it'll go into 7.

 

Once in 7, start menu, cmd--right click & run as admin.

 

diskpart

list disk

select disk (osx & 7)

list partition

select partition (OSX)

active

 

Restart, it should take you to the chameleon bootloader, where you can pick which one to run. This is all granted you have chameleon or some other bootloader already installed. If not, you need one. One thing, from cham, once you choose 7 it'll probs take you to the 7 bootloader where you have to choose again, just pick 7 and you're good. Hope this helps.
