That does not say "linux" to me.
Try Ubuntu and gpart and Google, but you don't use Windows or Boot Camp for those.
I said i tried to partition my harddrive for linux from mac os x (disk utility) and maybe that ruined my bootcamp (windows 7) partition.

Hi guys,
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I am suddenly having a very similar problem and maybe one of you can help me. I have searched the problem using many different phrases but have not found a solution to my specific issue anywhere so I turned here.
Problem : I am getting the "Error Loading Operating System" error on the windows side after trying to boot up using BootCamp.
More Info / History : Everything was running fine until I updated OSX to 10.10.02. I have an unsupported card with no EFI : GTX 980 so I couldn't tell what was going on with the update but it just hung in black screen for a while and then when into an infinite restart-loop. Sooooo, I pulled the card and put my old GTX 120 with EFI back in to see what the **** was going on and miraculously it decided to finish the update. (Maybe it had something to do with the unsupported card? IDK) The update finished successfully after i swapped out the cards but I fear i screwed up something by restarting during the update (I was hung up, I waited a very long time before hitting the power button). OSX is running ok, I put the other card back in and it is working ok now, but... BootCamp was working... once. Then I restarted and it wouldn't work, I got the error message. So I tried doing a verify/repair disk on both drives, OSX and W7, and that didn't do anything, so I tried to start BootCamp assistant and I couldn't... So I reset the PRAM and that fixed the problem with BootCamp Assistant, so now that starts up, but I don't know if I can repair the issue with it? However I still can't boot into Windows. Again, when I hold down option on boot, I do get the menu (BootCamp?) to choose which OS to go into. Side Note, when I pick Recovery Mode from that menu, I get the mac error message and it restarts.
All the W7 Files are still present on the drive... Is there any way I can back up the image, re-prep the drive for BootCamp and re-image it to repair it? All thoughts, suggestions, etc. welcome.
