This one is just to give you an idea of how it would look like. If you want to dual-boot with Windows, it is usually recommended to install Windows first, and then install OS X. But since you have made it half way through the installer, going the other way would take more time, so we will install OS X first.
Continue with the installer. Select the Mac partition as the destination whatever you named it, Lion, or Mac HD , and let it install. It takes about minutes, depending on your configuration. Do so by clicking the restart button. Use the arrow keys to select the drive named Lion or whatever you named it and press enter.
