Q: Windows will not boot

I'm panicking, I was in the final stages of prepping my old macbook and new macbook systems and ran chkdsk (not with the /B cause it complained since my system is NTFS) but I think it was right after that my bootcamp partition was not bootable (and its been many weeks since I did a backup and was just about to). It shows up in Disk Utility and hope its just a Master Boot Record or an easy fix, also can't view the bootcamp device or any files in Finder. Tried to delete the Recovery partition and EFI to get a MBR fix...I know enough to be dangerous.


Yosemite

Win 8.1

    TThought it would be worth going that route on the 2015 boot camp and deleting one other big app that I can install later, have old 2010 boot camp plus multiple backups and Winclone images now... Shrunk and creating Winclone image now with file system size of 111gb, this has to fit and hopeflulu can move forward. Did do a Chkdsk/f after and Windows did boot no problem. Will wipe the 2015 partitions again and add back and restore this (last) Winclone image, add Mac yosemite (el cap tomorro) back internally. And then cross my fingers in a month or more move to Windows 10
