The alternative is to blow the drive and rebuild. If things go south, you're going to have to rebuild anyway. However, you should understand that MS normally doesn't support an update from beta to retail version. If you had the beta on the PC, you're going to need to blow it and reinstall that partition from scratch. Good luck; and let me know how things go for you! You can always try it.

I installed Os X and windows 7 on my PC and done all the above instructions. There might be something I missed but when i try to boot into Os X is says that the file \NST\nst_mac.mbr is missing or corrupt should I put a new NST file on the computer and if so do I make a NST File on the documents page or where should I put it? Any tips and or tricks would be AWESOME right now im about to lose my mind. So Ive got a question. I installed Os X and windows 7 on my PC and done all the above instructions.

It installs fine after OSX when I allow it to create the partition, but when I go into diskpart and set partion 2 (the recovery is always 1) as active I can't boot back to Win7 (it gives me a BCD error during boot) to run EasyBCD.

I was looking for a way to triple boot Vista, Mac OS X Leopard and Ubuntu. Once I found out how to install Ubuntu's bootloader on its own partition, it was quite easy to figure out EasyBCD. By the way, for those who want to install Ubuntu's bootloader on its own partition, there is an "advanced" button during the final options check, right before actually installing it. You will find there the option to install the bootloder to mbr or the partition, or wherever you may want. Great tutorial! I was looking for a way to triple boot Vista, Mac OS X Leopard and Ubuntu.
