sorta missing some info here

 

are you installing snow and windows 7 on the same hard drive, or separate ones?

 

if two hard drives, set up the one with snow & cham rc4 to be booted first, and load windows from it

 

if one hard drive, setup snow completely, set the windows partition as active, restore windows bootloader using windows dvd repair tools through command prompt, then set snow back as active partition and load windows from cham rc4

I was about to ask a similar question. Except i have a few partitions.

 

1. Toshiba boot partition (no clue on how to get rid of it without damage)

2. Windows 7 Ultimate x64

3. Toshiba recovery partition (no clue for this one either)

4. Mac OS X 10.6.2

 

recently i have been booting using my USB installation CD.

1. Reconfigure your BIOS to boot from the DVD first and then the Win7 drive

2. Boot the machine from the Win7 DVD

3. After the language select screen, choose "Repair your computer" from the lower left

4. The system will not find any installations. This is okay, click the top radio button and hit Next

5. You'll see a list of "System Recovery Options". Open up the Command Prompt

6. Try typing the following commands in order: "bootrec /fixmbr", "bootrec /fixboot", "bootrec /rebuildbdc". If these complete successfully, go ahead and skip the next step. However, if any of these steps reports "Element cannot be found" you need to reconfigure the disk configuration.

7. You're going to use DISKPART to make the Win7 partition active. You can type "HELP" for a list of commands or check out Microsoft's help page. Basically you select the drive first ("LIST DRIVES" and then "SELECT DRIVE [number]") and then the partition ("LIST PARTITION" and then "SELECT PARTITION [number]") where Win7 is installed. Then type "ACTIVE" to make the selected partition active. Once this is finished, repeat the previous step.

8. With the bootloader now created, we need to let Win7 configure it. Restart and boot from the DVD again, and choose the same repair option as before. Now you should see your Win7 installation listed. Allow the installer to repair the system. You may have to repeat this step once or twice, but eventually the bootloader will be fixed and your machine will work again!
