After resizing my Boot Camp partition, I get "Missing Operating System" when I try to boot into Windows.

Let me preface this by saying I’ve been digging around a LOT about this problem and that I’ve gotten a lot of the tools that I believe are required to fix the problem- I’ve looked at this thread specifically: Bootcamp partition has disappeared after upgrade to Yosemite 10.10

 

 

 

The problem is similar. I’m going to put as much info as possible here so that we can use our time efficiently- forgive me if I include any extraneous details.

 

I resized my Windows partition using Winclone Pro v4.4. That worked flawlessly, and I backed up the image to an external hard drive.

 

I’m using OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on a 2012 15″ Macbook Pro.

I have two internal hard drives on my Macbook Pro: one for OS X, and the other for Windows (in place of the optical drive). Up until recently the drive for Windows also had my Mac Steam library on it, but I deleted all of that so that I could use my second hard drive just for Boot Camp.

 

I should also mention that I can see all of my files in the BOOTCAMP drive, so I know the file system is intact.

 

When I hold down the alt key on booting up, two drives appear: Mac, and Windows. When I select Windows I get a brief pause, followed by “Missing Operating System” on a black screen with a blinking cursor.

 

Here’s the output of diskutil list:

 

DHCP-150-064:~ benpekary$ diskutil list

   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

   0:                            GSP1RMCULXFRER_EN_DVD  *4.7 GB     disk3

 

 

(disk 3 is an external optical drive plugged in via USB with the windows 7 disk in it. Whenever I try to boot into the Windows 7 DVD, I get the exact same error: missing operating system. And if I “press any key to boot from DVD/CD” nothing happens at all.)
