Help please!

I have a new Macbook pro with Lion on it. I installed boot camp and everything ran fine.

then, I realized I needed a partition with Snow Leopard for some old PPC applications that I needed to run. Finding a thread about partitioning and installing, i proceeded to do that - create a partition for Snow Leopard, install from disk.

However, I have since lost the ability to boot to Bootcamp. Lion still sees it, but when I hold down option key upon boot, no Bootcamp partition shows up. Yet, in System Preferences, under startup disc, it sees the boot camp partition just fine.

However...

When I set that to be the startup disk, I get the message, "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key."

So, how do I get back the boot camp partition as a bootable partition WITHOUT wiping it out and starting all over again? Is there a simple way to fix this?

Thank you in advance for your help!
