Restore Windows From .dmg help!

I installed window seven using bootcamp on my macbook. I was having space issues and backed my Windows seven up using disk utility and then deleted my boot camp partition.

Now i am trying to restore seven from my back up and I'm coming across issues. I made a new partition with bootcamp and then i booted up from my snow leopard disk and restored the windows seven .dmg where the blank bootcamp partition was, thinking that that would restore my windows seven, but there's nothing on the boot menu (hold option upon restart).

So i booted up my VMware and my boot camp partition showed up so i tried to boot into it with that and i got a message that said that now bootable device was selected.

I'm now assuming that i have to make my windows seven partition bootable some how.

Can anyone help me?!?!?!?!

Thanks.

You can not backup a Windows XP, Vista, or Win 7 partition with Disk Utility because DU will not retain the file structure or boot sector. You should have used the free "WinClone" which does retain both.

You're going to need to install Win 7 again. I don't know if you had the beta installed or the RC, but MS is releasing Win 7 on October 22nd.

Regards.

I had a feeling that's what it would boil down to. Thank you. I had a relese canidate installed.
