Mention, that for MacOS versions prior to OS X El Capitan 10.11 you will need to create bootable Windows USB. Download Windows ISO file. Open Boot Camp Assistant (Go to Applications Utilities) Define the Windows partition size choose downloaded Windows ISO file. Format Windows partition and go through all Windows installation steps. El Capitan’s Boot Camp has USB drive-less Windows setup, but not all Macs are supported. Boot Camp, the Mac’s built-in software for dual-booting between OS X and Windows has been given some love in the new El Capitan software update and now features a slicker Windows setup that no longer requires a USB thumb drive, as discovered by Twocanoes.

Your 2008 MP does not support W10. There are no Apple-certified drivers for W10 on your model as stated in Use Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support . The only MP which supports W10 is the 2013 Cylinder.
If I set the startup disk to the Windows partition it restarts to a black screen with a blinking cursor, no doubt because the BIOS mediator was not installed.
The BIOS mediator is the EFI firmware on your MP. It does not need to be installed. It was already there when you were running W7.

Everything is there as it is supposed to be as I can see it through the MAC finder... just can't boot into it. AAARGH !!

I thought to boot up with the Windows 10 iso disk and reinstall the OS, but I am afraid I will overwrite everything I loaded or perhaps corrupt the dll's or registry entries.
We can try to resurrect the Windows installation. I presume you have a W7 backup somewhere before you started the W10 upgrade. Is this a single-disk MP? From OSX Terminal, please post the output of
