Bootcamp Partition Missing after Resize

I was trying to follow online tutorials for non-destructively resizing my Win7 bootcamp from running out of space.

After using disk utility to shrink down the MacOS, however, the bootcamp partition is still there in disk utility and Finder, but when I restarted, pressing ALT into the booting selection, the windows system was missing and has been that way ever since..

From the disk utility, it looks like this↓

Could anybody help me out of this without deleting the windows?

System is OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

Thanks a lot!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Please install GPT Fdisk - https://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/ .

Your Start and Size values come from the MBR, not the current GPT values. They should be 763398144 and +213706752 respectively.

See the first set of Gdisk steps as an example - Re: El Capitan has deleted my bootcamp windows partition .

Everything seems working now, thanks again for your highly professional assistance!

It's not everyday that people could get away from all this mess without bring down the whole system!
