I have a problem when I attempt to create another partition using Disk Utility such that I can share file between Mac OS and Win7. However, after partitioning and when I want to switch to WIndow7, there is no Win7 for me to boot. Is there a way to restore Win7?

You can not add another partition once you have a Boot Camp setup and dual boot with Windows as that will destroy the Windows boot sector. You can try repairing Windows 7 with these Microsoft instructions. You will need your original Windows 7 DVD.
