No Bootable disk message after extending the partition

Hi ,


Below are my Mac details


MacBook Pro (retina, 13-Inch, Mid 2014), OS X EL Captian Version10.11 15A284)


I installed Boot Cam successfully and was working but as the disk space became less though of extending it. Saw a video in youtube which said to use disk utility to extend the partition. After making the partition I am unable boot into Windows it says No Bootable disk available.


Can you please help me.


I tried these and here is the information:

Repairing Boot Camp after creating new partition

I followed the solution but I failed at You should have two entries. One type EE, one 07, with the 07 entry marked with * under Boot. If you don't, report back. If you do, write out the update partition information, and hope a power failure doesn't occur for the next few seconds...

I'm far from being expert, but may be able to point a possible cause of your problem.

With MBR, a drive can have upto four primary partitions and one of them can be replaced with extended partition that can be divided to multiple logical partitions.

As far as I know, Mac can boot from primary partition only.

In contrast, your disk has five partitions, exceeding the number Mac can handle.

I guess it makes your problem, but no idea what is the best solution for you.
