windows partition operating system not found

Hey guys so basically my problem started when I resized my Macintosh HD using disk utility. Then, all of a sudden my BOOTCAMP partition did not show up when I restarted holding down OPTION. Here were the steps I took to try to solve:


1. Downloaded GPT FDISK and followed a thread on how to create a hybrid MBR.


2. This isn't really a step, but I restarted and the BOOTCAMP partition was FOUND! (it felt pretty good to find it after searching the internet for answers for 12 hours)


3. This also isn't really a step, but a DOS screen shows with the words "Operating system not found"


Does anyone have a solution to this problem or has anyone messed up using GPT FDISK that could help me out with my situation? Here's a summary of what my disks look like right now:


gpt show: disk0: mediasize=250059350016; sectorsize=512; blocks=488397168

gpt show: disk0: Suspicious MBR at sector 0

gpt show: disk0: Pri GPT at sector 1

gpt show: disk0: Sec GPT at sector 488397167
