Bootcamp no longer works after adding partition via Windows 7

I needed a D: drive in Windows and shrunk the system (C:) partition and added another partition intended to be a secondary drive in Windows. After rebooting Windows throws a BSOD and I can't even select OS X as a bootable option. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction on how to fix? Thank you!

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

This is not allowed on a Mac with Bootcamp on a single internal disk.


From Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions - Apple Support

Can I resize the Windows partition after installing Windows?
No. Back up your important files, then use Boot Camp Assistant to delete the old partition and create a new one.


Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?


diskutil list

diskutil cs list

sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

sudo fdisk /dev/disk0


The "sudo" commands will prompt for your password, and it will not be echoed back. You may also see a warning about improper use of "sudo" and potential data loss due to "abuse" of the command.

I learned the FAQ the hard way 🙂
