How to Fix the Broken Bootcamp Partition after Resizing Mac OS X Partition

Hi guys! Yesterday I was trying to resize my Windows 7 partition and now, I cannot seem to boot it up even though there is "WINDOWS" option in black screen mode.

I'm using Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013 and OS is Yosemite 10.10.4

Here are some useful information:

I'm currently using "Deeper Search" function on Test disk but I don't know if I chose the right MS Data.

I've looked into many similar posts and it seemed like Loner T is very well informed about this issue.

Please help and thank you so much in advance!

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

I have tried using Boot Camp Assistant 5.1.4 to create Window 7 USB but I still can't use my trackpad or keyboard. Do I need to use different Bootcamp or is there any other way?

OK. So I've made a bootable USB drive again with $WinPEDriver$ folder, but my mouse and trackpad still doesn't work during blue screen phase.

Is there any way to fix this problem by putting driver into that folder?

Also, is it possible to copy and paste old bootcamp folders onto new bootcamp partition to make it work? I have tried everything to repair windows 7 but I can't get my mouse and keyboard to work.

I also have back up data.

The driver is already in the $WinPEDriver$ folder. Can you run the following two procedures and retry the repair?

I tried the SMC reset and NVRAM reset, but I'm afraid it's not working.

Excellent. Get to a command prompt and run chkdsk /f .

Expand View Details and let it Repair and Restart.

What was modified to allow Keyboard/Mouse connections?

I Kept pressing tab.... And it worked

when I typed, "chkdsk /f" it said the type of the file system is ntfs

cannot lock current drive

windows cannot run disk checking on this volume because it is write protected

so i put "chkdsk c: /f"

it says windows has made corrections to the file system.

but it says "failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50"

im using my iPad to reply so can't really send snapshot. I don't want to restart because I don't wanna lose mouse functionality when I rebooted using os x to reply to you
