If you want to run Mac OSX in addition to Windows 7, the simplest way for you is to buy a second hard disk and install Mac OSX Mountain Lion on it (recommend to disconnect the Windows 7 hard disk first). Then after you get Mountain Lion running properly from the hard disk, you can shut down, reconnect the Windows hard disk and then configure the BIOS to boot from the Mac OSX hard disk first. The Chimera bootloader should then present a choice of Mac OSX and Windows on boot up.

Note that you need access to a real Mac or hacktinosh running Mac OSX Snow Leopard (10.6) or higher to access the Mac App Store, download Mountain Lion and create the UniBeast USB stick to install Mountain Lion.

Ahh yes. I had the same problem as you. Dual booting without loosing any data on the same hard drive is a pain in the ass.

Do yourself a favor and buy yourself a secondary drive unless your willing to loose windows.
