Windows 7 will install NTFS not Fat32, and be sure to install it to the same space that you have formatted because it has the potential to overwrite your SL partitions. Windows will install its own bootloader to the MBR which will overwrite Chameleon in the MBR. My method is to download free Easybcd bootloader and install it on Windows. The Add Mac OS X to the Easybcd bootloader menu and so boot SL from Windows. You can change the boot order menu so that SL is the default OS to boot if you prefer. There is a way to restore the Chameleon bootloader also which I won't explain.
