Default Mac wont boot

Hey, installed OSX Snow Leopard, then installed Windows 7 on bootcamp, but installed a different boot menu, when it starts up it would let me pick an option, but I deleted the boot menu software, so now it shows a ? at start up... I don't have a Snow Leopard disc, as I installed with an external hd, any ideas how to get going, without purchasing OSX.

You could take it to an Apple Store for them to use one of their Leopard DVDs to repair the bootloader for you. If your Mac is under AppleCare or any other related warranty they won't charge you.

Isn't under warranty anymore, and the closest Apple store is 2 hours away. Could I burn OSX to a DVD Dual Layer in Windows?

PowerISO (or MagicISO?) has .dmg support, so you could use one of those to burn the .dmg file.

If the Mac isn't booting you don't have to reinstall. You can use DiskWarrior to reinstall the boot menu or repair the drive.
