Windows Will Not Boot

I have tried several things I have seen on other discussions, from many different websites, and I still cant get Windows working again.

Whenever I think I am close to fixing it, it says "Missing operating system". I have done startup repair, but it won't work.

It started when I tried to resize my OS X partition if it helps. I noticed a guy named 'Loner T' seemed pretty good at this, if he is available I would like his help.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Hitting Escape will take you back a screen. It would be nicer if the tool asked for confirmation or had an expert and non-expert prompted mode, which would make life simpler.

Very much, do you just want me to wait for it to analyze again?

Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged.

Thats what I saw when looking at the first one, i'm pretty sure I looked at the wrong one, so trying to get back I must have hit escape more than once.

I have TeamViewer installed on my Mac, if you wanna do everything so I don't screw something up once it's done.

I suggest you do not invite total strangers to connect to your PCs/MACs. It is unsafe for both parties. You need to be the eyes/ears.

The reason I am asking you to assist me via teamviewer is because you seem like a very trustworthy person and I don't want to try again, and screw up again.

I am back here:

Disk /dev/rdisk0 - 500 GB / 465 GiB - 976773168 sectors (RO)

The harddisk (500 GB / 465 GiB) seems too small! (< 1366 GB / 1272 GiB)

Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection...

The following partitions can't be recovered:

Yes, only once, please. This is the list of unrecoverable partitions. If you use 'P' to list files, use Escape only once, if it seems a bit slow to get to the previous screen, it is all right. An extra Escape or Return will cause angst again.
