After the FAI install finishes, the Win7 installation is not bootable. 
You have to boot from a Win7 installation disk and  choose the Windows 
rescue option. After that, you can boot into Win7 again.

Are you saying you install Windows 7, then you do an FAI install, and 
you don't have any problems booting into Win7? It's never worked for me.
