My dilemma,
Something got screwy when I opened my mac.

Perhaps someone can help with this.
I cannot log into Mac side or windows side using option.
The comp freezes at apple screen.
Used diskwarrior but couldnt replace rebuilt copy.

I copied a preview copy of my mac HD using diskwarrior to an external. Was not able to replace it..disk it to badly corrupted.

Not sure how to get my bootcamp windows files???? PLEASE HELP

So I think my steps are:
I have the MACHD from diskwarrior copied (this is the restructured and rebuilt version.
1. Somehow get my bootcamp
2. Reformat my entire HD
3. Install OSX
4. Migration assistant to external with copied MACHD from diskwarrior.
5. Reload Bootcamp image somehow?

Does this sound correct?

Does this sound okay???? Any help would be great. Please try to put steps or commands in the simplest form possible. Thanks you in advance.

That "copy" is not a copy of your drive, it's of your directory structure. You cant use Migration assistant with it.
You do have a backup somewhere right? If your drive is that badly corrupted you're probably looking at replacing it.
