Yes, neither of them work.

On a separate note my Chimera bootloader flows off screen and isn't formatted correctly. Is there any way to fix this?

I had the same issue. I had to keep hitting f8 (may be different for your MB) and then choose my drive with Win7 on it. The chimera bootloader refused to boot Win7 for me. After I got OSX up and running right then I just had to go into my BIOS and change the boot order of my drives so that Windows always booted with no problem or prompt and if I want to boot into OSX then I have to hit f8 and choose the correct drive. Hope that helps

I had already tried changing the boot order to load win 7 first but it still failed. I just re-installed windows 7 fresh (with all other drives disconnected just in case). It's working now so hopefully when I plug my OSX drive back in there won't be any problems.

After reinstalling windows I can now boot to either drive successfully! In the future, any time I do an install I'll be sure to remove all other HDD and SSD.
