Repairing Bootcamp after resizing partition
I'm running El Capitan 10.11.1 and Windows 8.1 on Bootcamp. Today, I wanted to add more space to Bootcamp without erasing anything. I went to disk utility and reduced the size of the Macintosh HD by 60 GB. I now see that I have what I believe to be a third partition named untitled which is 59.4 GB.
My problem is that after rebooting and attempting to login to Bootcamp, it doesn't show up on the login window after holding the option key. I changed the startup preference to Bootcamp and saw the following message:
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
After searching for solutions, I found one that would've seemed to do the trick but I'm still stuck in the same boat.
I followed the instructions here: http://nerdr.com/tag/fix-bootcamp-partition-not-booting-mac-and-macbook-pro/
But I receive this message after what should've been the final step: Unable to open device '/dev/disk0' for writing! Errno is 1! Aborting write!
Here is the output from Terminal:

So, anyone know how to fix this issue without having to reinstall fully reinstall Windows?
