lots of weirdness going on here, just bought 17" macbook pro (pre unibody). came installed with windows 7 and parallels. I also put macbunto on a USB flash drive hoping to have a triple boot unit.
the first thing that went bad was that the disk icon for windows 7 disappeared. holding down the option key only shows the mac drive. I've tried everything i can think of with the disk utility, it shows 2 partitions on the HDD but only info about the MAC partition.
I installed rEFit and got no joy with that either, when I restarted, it only showed the mac drive. but it did give a report here;

I have no idea what any of this means maybe one of you who are smarter than me can figure it out.
I can access windows 7 through parallels but as far as I know that is the only way I can get to it.
Unfortunately I did not get system disks with my computer for snow leopard or win 7.
