Unable to boot bootcamp after resize

It seems that I did something similar to the original post; I think I have a bit better situation.


I created a second drive with the extra space I wanted in Mac Disk Utility, then I booted into the MacUtilities (Command-r @startup) I "Restored"my small bootcamp onto the larger drive created. This resized the big bootcamp I created into the original sized bootcamp.

I then used a bootable Windows DVD and MS DISKPART [1] to extend the "restored" bootcamp drive to the size I wanted. Now I have an extra disk that I cannot get rid of; "FREEdata".


I cannot boot my bootcamp.

The drive mounts and I can browse it in Finder, the drive shows up in "STARTUP DISK" in settings but then provides an error that there is no bootable drive when I attempt to startup in windows.

If I hold "option" on booting the Mac then I am only provided the option to boot macOS.


The results of "diskutil list"


/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: GUID_partition_scheme *2.0 TB disk0

1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1

2: Apple_APFS Container disk2 1.8 TB disk0s2

3: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 116.4 GB disk0s3

4: Apple_APFS Container disk1 64.0 GB disk0s4


/dev/disk1 (synthesized):

/dev/disk2 (synthesized):

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

2: APFS Volume Preboot 26.5 MB disk2s2

3: APFS Volume Recovery 518.8 MB disk2s3

4: APFS Volume VM 8.6 GB disk2s4


How does the previous troubleshooting steps work with APFS?
