Unable to boot to bootcamp after partitioning El Capitan

Hi Loner T,


I have recently partitioned the drive where OSX El Capitan is currently installed. Now, upon pressing the Option Key on start up, I cannot select my Bootcamp partition to boot.
Here is info re: my product:


Here is information re: my volumes:


  • I have OSX installed on a partition 'Macintosh SSD' in a 500GB SSD
  • Files are on a partition 'Macintosh HD' in a 1TB HDD
  • I have Windows Bootcamp installed on an NTFS partition 'SOLID' in the same 500GB SSD
  • and another NTFS partition for Windows Files 'LIQUID' in the same 1TB HDD
  • I also have a new partition (which lead to my very problem) 'ScratchDisk' in the same 500GB SSD


Both 'SOLID' and 'LIQUID' NTFS partitions are currently read-only i.e. "Owners: Disabled" in Disk Utility after having created a new partition 'ScratchDisk' for Photoshop in the same 500GB SSD, and SOLID won't show up on start up after pressing the 'Option key'.


I previously had Tuxera NTFS installed but uninstalled it.


Hereunder you will find the following information:

  • diskutil list
  • diskutil cs list
  • sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
  • sudo fdisk /dev/disk0


I thank you for patience and kindness from beforehand,

Cesco

Sorry for the very outdated reply. However I would also like to report that I am unable to access my 'Macintosh HD' disk from my Bootcamp partition.

Could this be remedied please?

Thanks for all your patience within these forums.

Cesco
