I have a 10v which dual boots OS X and Windows 7 through Chameleon bootloader. Today I was trying to install Windows 7 SP1 for which the windows partition needs to be set as active. I guess I did this incorrectly. I booted into Ubuntu off a USB drive and set the NTFS partition with a flag of "boot", and removed the "boot" flag from the small fat32 partition at the beginning of the hard drive (its about 100 or so MB, more or less, I didn't see exactly how much). When I rebooted, the computer went straight to OS X. I went back to Ubuntu and reversed the changes I made, removing the boot flag from NTFS and adding the boot flag to the fat32 partition. Now when I restart, I can see Windows 7 and OS X in the chameleon boot loader, the problem is that when I select Windows all I get is a blinking cursor.

I've tried a Windows 7 32-bit recovery USB, but after it asks for my keyboard layout (I select US), it says this System Recovery Option is not compatible with the version of Windows.

Does anyone have any ideas? I know it's not the simplest question but I don't want to have to reinstall and configure Windows, since that's a very tedious process. Thanks..

changing the boot manager may hinder the function of recovery partition.
so, try to install boot loader like Plop then , see if it can boot the very partition with win7 on it.Google is your friend
