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.

Yes, please ensure you pick the correct partition. You have significant disk space allocated as Free Space. You will not be able to reclaim it unless you forgo the old Windows installation.
