I was able to solve my problem, and maintain my clean OS Sierra install.
DO NOT USE BootCamp for the install.
Formatting a new (2nd) partition with disk utility to FAT and booting directly to the installer on my Windows7 CD.
I was able to use the advanced options on the CD to format the FAT partition into NTFS and proceed with the install.
My MacBook Pro is a mid 2010, so I then installed the driver software (from external USB drive) that was recommended on Apple's site.
This might help to get any version of Windows installed and running natively beside the latest Apple operating systems.
