Moved OS X Partition to another disk, Resized Boot Camp, now "Missing Operating System"

I've found some interesting threads searching through the community here, and I feel that I'm close to getting this figured out but my situation is unique a little bit. Some history, I acquired a PCIe SSD for my Mac Pro and I imaged my OS X system partition from the original SSD to the PCIe drive, and this has worked great for the past month. My original drive is still in the system, and has my Boot Camp partition on it. With the OS X partition moved off of the drive they used to share, I pulled that and hooked it up to one of my linux boxes, ran gparted to resize the partition and move the data. With the drive back in, rEFIt at boot helped me get the partition table realigned (or so I thought), but now I can't boot the partition natively without getting the "Missing Operating System" screen. I *CAN* however, boot just fine from the BootCamp partition using VMWare Fusion while on the Mac. The automatic Startup Repair tool ran the first time I loaded Windows through the VM, but has ran fine ever since.


Here's what I got so far from Terminal gathered from suggestions of other posts, I just don't know what to do with this info...

And now the gdisk output, which is odd. Here's hoping @Christopher Murphy sees this.



$ sudo gdisk /dev/disk3
