Missing operating system after MBR repair

Hi,

I have dual system on my mac book pro, windows on boot camp. I haven't been using windows for a while and when I tried to log back in recently, I found that I can't see windows after pressing 'alt' upon start up. I then searched here and found a solution to the problemRepairing boot camp after OS install 10.10.2. After the repair, I can now see windows during start up, but when I tried to boot into it, it displays 'missing operating system...'. I then found another possible solution to the problem, which told me to try to use the startup repair option on windows disk to fix the problem. It did not work. Hope I can get some help on here. Thanks.

I do nto have much experience with this tool. You may want to look at http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step.
