Macintosh HD disappered

I downloaded Bootcamp but I didnt know then that you couldnt put in more space into it later without having to restart the whole process again. So I used the program EASEUS Partition Master to put in more space on bootcamp. But when i did that the mac harddrive part of my macbook disappered. So all I have is windows 7. If I press option only the windows harddrive appears. So can anyone tell me how to get it back? I dont care if Bootcamp is deleted I can just put it back on... I just need the mac part back.

You say you downloaded Boot Camp, but Boot Camp hasn't been available as a download since it was in beta in 10.4 Tiger. If you're using the beta with Tiger, now is a good time to move on.

I have a feeling that you've inadvertently erased your HFS volume with OS X on it, recovering it won't be an easy task. If you boot up off the Mac OS X Install DVD, and run Disk Utility, what partitions does it list there? Hopefully you made a Time Machine backup!

Ok thanks a lot... I found out how to get back the Mac part but I just need to make another hard disk thing like bootcamp because when I restart the laptop with the disk in and press c, it goes to the download thing. So I do all the steps until I get to the part where it says i need to pick a hard disk and the only one is Bootcamp. I looked on youtube to make another hard drive and it works but when I get to that part, the hard disk i made disappers and when I get back onto bootcamp to check on the hard disk it disappers too. So do you know how to make another hard disk?

I'm not quite sure why this is happening, is there an Apply Changes button that you need to press or something like that? Can't you just create the partition from Disk Utility on the Mac OS X Install DVD?
