unable to boot from mac partition after using partition manager software on Windows Hi, I wanted to increase the volume of Bootcamp drive, so I used 3rd party partition manager on windows (it's called easyUS partition manager) and merged an empty partition with bootcamp partition. Since then I am unable to boot from MacOS drive - it does not show up on the boot screen.. Is there any way to restore this? Thanks in advance!
