BootCamp Partition- Missing Operating System Windows Startup Repair

Hi.


I made the mistake of creating a new partition on my HD with an existing Boot Camp partition. I tried to follow the advice of Loner T in this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6574886, and got made the Windows installation bootable. Upon starting up Windows the screen displayed 'Missing Operating System', I tried doing a Windows Startup Repair using the Windows Installation Media without any luck.




Here is the current state of my hard drive.


diskutil list

sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
