Q: How can I repair my Windows Bootcamp?

Hey all..

 

I tried to shrink my OSX partition today so I could use more space on my Windows Bootcamp. Surprise surprise I have no windows anymore...way I ca

 

Is there a way I can fix this? I did the "sudo fdisk" thing and my windows now shows up when I boot and hold option, but I get a message saying "no windows operating system found" or something of the sorts. I reaalllly really hope I can sort this without having to wipe it as I had stuff on there I can't replace..

 

Thanks in advance for any help, it would be extremely appreciated.

    Can you use Unable to boot windows bootcamp after updating to yosemite as a reference and download Testdisk and GPT Fdisk and start with a Testdisk scan? The gap between GPT3 and GPT4 entries should have your lost NTFS header.

    Okay I've started a quick search, I'm guessing it's going to take a while..

    The line with "Analyse Sector..." needs to get to 100%. Unfortunately, it can take several hours.

    This is normal. These two are unrecoverable. Press Enter to Continue and you should see a list of recoverable partitions. Can you pos a screen shot of that list, please?
