Q: Expanded Bootcamp partition using EaseUS now can't boot into Windows
Hi,
I'm new to Apple software so please bare with me.
I use a Mac Pro and mainly use bootcamp (Windows 10).
I thought it would be a good idea to expand the bootcamp partition because I barley use OS X so went into El Capitan made that partition smaller and then went back into Windows made the space NTFS and used EaseUS to merge it with the boocamp partition.
I did this in the past and it went perfectly well.
I have been reading around and new see it's not recommended at all.
I restarted and when windows started I got "recovery - your pc needs to be repaired the boot configuration data file is missing"
I tried holding 'alt' down when booting and there was only one 'Windows' drive.
I did 'alt & r' and reinstalled El Capitan in the partition where it was.
Now looking in Disk Utility the partition that was bootcamp says it's Mac OS Extended when it should be NTFS.
Really hoping I can recover this because it has important work documents on it.
Can anybody help please?
Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
