bootcamp partition missing

I have a Macbook Pro with Bootcamp Windows 7 installed. Was working on Mac OSX side with a external hard drive attached. Upon rebooting to load into Windows, the system was attempting to load a windows drive from the external HDD. When removing the external HDD, the option to load the windows Bootcamp drive disappeared.


I booted back into Mac OSX and the Bootcamp drive is no longer on the desktop, the Disk Utilities shows only the Mac partition. The entire partition/space from the Bootcamp drive is gone.


Through another thread, I was able to get the Windows drive to reappear in the boot up screen (holding option), but it loads to a black screen and remains so.

Did you want a screenshot of each one? I selected each, pressed P and checked for one that looked similar to the screenshot you provided. The only one that had anything other than "Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged." were the ones that had [BOOT] on the right of the sector size and [NO NAME] that were basically an empty directory. The [BOOT] ones just had dates like the ones on the start of your screenshot, nothing else. I scrolled further down and it looks like this set are the only ones that are labelled MS Data.
