Q: Boot camp partition shown but not booting
I have El Capitan 10.11.6 in Macbook Pro Early 2011. Hard drive space was getting low so I:
1) Bought new 500 gig SSD to replace old 256 gig drive. Original drive has Bootcamp installation with Win 7
2) Cloned the old hard drive to the new using those cloning devices where you attach two hard drives (no computer needed)
3) After cloning I connected the new hard drive to computer and booted to Mac OSX. As expected the new hard drive was identical to old (only 256 gigs). I thought I could resize Mac OSX partition or create a new one in Disk Utility. I didn't find such an option.
4) Downloaded Gparted live-cd and succeeded in creating new partition in the end of the drive.
5) On Mac side everything was good. Windows partition is shown in Mac OSX and I can access files on it.
6) If I try to boot to Windows, I get "Missing operating system" error
What should I do to get Windows bootable?
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
