It sounds like you must have deleted one of the partitions while using the Windows installer. :(
 
i most likely did but the problem is i dont have a install disk of OS X nor another mac to use to copy a version of OS X to make a usb or install disk.
 
nope still nothing. i just tried it a couple of times and every time it boots right back up into Windows 7.
 
okay so ill have to find someone with a mac to do that right? or is it possible to make a usb install of the mac os on windows?

No, and it needs to be a Mac running 10.7 or 10.8, depending on which version of OSX you're trying to restore.
