Boot camp partition shown but not booting

Question

I have El Capitan 10.11.6 in Macbook Pro Early 2011. Hard drive space was getting low so I:1) Bought new 500 gig SSD to replace old 256 gig drive. Original drive has Bootcamp installation with Win 72) Cloned the old hard drive to the new using those cloning devices where you attach two hard drives (no computer needed)3) After cloning I connected the new hard drive to computer and booted to Mac OSX. As expected the new hard drive was identical to old (only 256 gigs). I thought I could resize Mac OSX partition or create a new one in Disk Utility. I didn&#x27;t find such an option.4) Downloaded Gparted live-cd and succeeded in creating new partition in the end of the drive.5) On Mac side everything was good. Windows partition is shown in Mac OSX and I can access files on it.6) If I try to boot to Windows, I get "Missing operating system" errorWhat should I do to get Windows bootable?

LonerT, thanks for the help you are providing here. It was the reason I found this place. I really appreciate your help. Anyway, yesterday I made decision that I deleted the Windows partition. It was kind of too small to be useful (50 gigs), it didn&#x27;t have any valuable data. It was just for random programs that are not available for Mac. I downloaded trial version of Hard Disk Manager from Paragon, removed Windows partition and resized other Mac partition to fill the empty space. Everything went well and I learned about enabling and disabling SIP (it now enabled).There is one little cosmetic issue still. If I press Alt during boot, I still see Windows as a boot option. Selecting it brings the "Missing Operating System" error. I that boot entry could be removed, things would be perfect.Below are the output from the commands, if that is any help for the new problem. But I repeat, I don&#x27;t have Bootcamp anymore and I don&#x27;t need it either. If I could just get rid of the non existing Windows boot entry, I would be happy.diskutil list/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *500.1 GB   disk0   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1   2:                  Apple_HFS Macintosh HD            200.1 GB   disk0s2   3:                  Apple_HFS Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3   4:                  Apple_HFS Data                    299.1 GB   disk0s5diskutil cs listNo CoreStorage logical volume groups foundsudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0Password:gpt show: /dev/disk0: mediasize&#x3D;500107862016; sectorsize&#x3D;512; blocks&#x3D;976773168gpt show: /dev/disk0: Suspicious MBR at sector 0gpt show: /dev/disk0: Pri GPT at sector 1gpt show: /dev/disk0: Sec GPT at sector 976773167      start       size  index  contents          0          1         MBR          1          1         Pri GPT header          2         32         Pri GPT table         34          6                  40     409600      1  GPT part - C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B     409640  390899288      2  GPT part - 48465300-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC  391308928    1269536      3  GPT part - 48465300-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC  392578464       2656           392581120  584192000      5  GPT part - 48465300-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC  976773120         15           976773135         32         Sec GPT table  976773167          1         Sec GPT headersudo fdisk /dev/disk0Disk: /dev/disk0    geometry: 60801/255/63 [976773168 sectors]Signature: 0xAA55         Starting       Ending #: id  cyl  hd sec -  cyl  hd sec [     start -       size]------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1: EE    0   0   2 -   25 127  14 [         1 -     409639] &lt;Unknown ID&gt;*2: AF   25 127  15 - 1023 217  52 [    409640 -  390899288] HFS+         3: AF 1023 217  53 - 1023 224  12 [ 391308928 -    1269536] HFS+         4: 00    0   0   0 -    0   0   0 [         0 -          0] unused

Currently, you have your disk split in two parts, OS X and Data. If that is what you want, then we can leave it as is, otherwise a Time Machine backup/erase/restore is recommended. If you need details let me know. You still have remnants of Windows EFI boot files on your system. Please see Can&#x27;t resize Macintosh HD partition as a reference on how to check and correct. If you do not want to follow this method, then a TM approach will address this and the previous issue.
