I have literally been sat at my macbook for the last 10 hours trying to get my bootcamp to work, however after tonnes of research and trying things I have found online I am still at a loss. I originally had installed windows 7 a couple of weeks ago for the second time (after yosemite deleted my previous one when upgrading) and everything was going great. I then took the decision to uninstall my windows as I really wanted to expand my partition size, so backed up all my files and used bootcamp to remove windows and re partition my hard drive to one single volume. However after doing so and then following the exact same steps as before (running bootcamp and partitioning to a bigger space) once my laptop restarts it comes up with the message “No bootable device — Insert boot disk and press any key” instead of boot loading windows automatically (like it did before). I have repeated this several times in the hopes that one time it would work however I cant help but feel that there is an issue with my hard drive and when I try to verify my hard drive (the top one not the ‘Macintosh HD’ one) it sometimes – (I say sometimes because it doesn’t say this error when trying to verify) says this:
Verifying partition map for “APPLE HDD HTS547***A9E384 Media”
Checking prerequisites
Checking the partition list
Checking for an EFI system partition
Checking the EFI system partition’s size
Checking the EFI system partition’s file system
Checking the EFI system partition’s folder content
Problems were found with the partition map which might prevent booting
Error: A disk with a mount point is required.
and yet when I performed the same task again 2 minutes later it say:

I am really not good when it comes to this stuff therefore this information may be totally irrelevant, sorry! I originally had to check my volumes and revert one when yosemite originally deleted it to be able to repartition my hard drive and install windows again. I just really don’t know what to do so any help would be appreciated. I have no knowledge in this subject what so ever but I get the feeling either my hard drive is corrupted somewhere (even though yosemite still runs perfectly and all my files seem to be intact) or for some reason my boot loaders are not working..
I can provide more information if necessary, but quite frankly I have no clue what I’m doing.
Thank you for taking the time to read this if you have!
