Triple boot problems - SL/LION/WIN7

Here's my situation

I was running Lion with Windows 7. WIN 7 was setup under bootcamp.

I then needed Snow Leopard (SL) to run a script that does not run under Lion so I created a new partition in disk utility and installed SL. I did not use boot camp to install SL.

Now, when I boot up I can choose from SL or Lion but not Windows.

How can I get the Windows option back?

Thanks for any help!

You know you can install 10.6 onto an external HD connected to your mystery computer right?

Triple-booting on the same HD with Lion is an issue now with the "Repair partition" it makes.

What happens when you press and keep holding down the Option key at the Boot Chime?

Is Windows not included in the "Startup Disk" preference?

rEFIt is a multiboot option to list all bootable items.
