Boot Problem

I had a working bootcamp partition(windows 8). i backed up it with ease us back up as partition. i resized my mac os partition. i tried to increase the size of my bootcamp partition. i did it in windows with a partition tool. i lost my macbook pro OS'es :-)


this is what i tried to get all back.


i install mac os and restored it from time machine backup. Mac os works perfect.

i used boot camp assistant and created a partition.

i wrote easeus backup partition to a usb disc.

i opened macos/disk utility.

i restored partition from usb disk to the bootcamp partition created by boot camp assistant.


now i see my files in boot camp ntfs partition on my macbook. when i hold Option on boot i cannot see windows option in the list. when i select bootcamp as startup disc from macos system preferences i see black screen.


i tried;

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3), 15'',i7,8GB RAM,120 GB SATA 3 SSD
