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.

You won't. Try to get to http://gyazo.com/d8b3f63dbfe1d14489dcae4eb7f4fb6c point again.

It is a slow process.

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.

I couldn't post the list here, because it wouldn't let me for some reason.

Scroll down to entries 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 and use 'P' to list files in each. Use Escape only once to get back to the this list.

So entry 8 would be "D MS Data 153517815 279342838 125825024" right?

Yes. This is how it shows up in PasteBin.
