Q: Repair Bootcamp

Hello there

 

I've been using bootcamp for over a year now and it worked perfectly fine. Now the problem is rather complex I'll try my best to explain it here: I own a MacbookPro, 500gb hard drive, and my bootcamp is 100gb from that, while Macintosh HD is 396, I also own an external HDD of Lacie with 5TB, on which I have many different partions, 4.5tb for the use over OSX, reserved for pictures, SHARE, for the use of WIndows and OSX and EHDW for being used by Windows. Now when I set bootcamp up I didn't have this external hard drive, so all important data to keep windows running shouldn't be on that external hard drive. While I once started bootcamp without the hard drive connected though I received the blue screen of death and this error: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-update/unable-to-boo t-error-code-0xc0000001-youll-need-to/52… I followed the solutions given in that topic, but it only got worse, after having tried to repair my partion with the windows cd I couldn't even select windows in the start up screen (when pressing alt) anymore. And from my osx side what once used to be bootcamp is now 100gb of unknown. But when restartng now and then, my laptop still automatically starts up under bootcamp or tries at least and I get balck screen with some numbers and words flashing and eventually like a full screen empty terminal like looking screen, I can't type or use any F keys at all. only option to get out of there is to force kill the laptop and start up selecting osx manually.  Has anybody any idea on what's the problem here? Or maybe even a solution? Would be greatful. If needed I can get more info out with diskutil, but everything we tried just had outcomes that didn't make any sense.

 

Greetings

    Only option was deleting the partition and reinstalling it (Hours of work sadly). I did save a backup of all my old data so I should have lost no data using a program that mounts ntfs drives while using OSX, It's called NTFS for Mac OSX and it offers a free trial version.
