I have Yosemite and Bootcamp installed on 2 different partitions. I needed more space for Windows, so I decided to create a 3rd (exFAT) partition split from the OSX one in order to be able to put files from Win7 there.

Apparently, Apple doesn't allow this and I completely lost my ability to boot into Windows. I removed the extra partition, hoping that I won't have to reinstall everything again. Is there any way to have files LAUNCH from the OS X partition while booted in windows?

I have not found another workaround to this problem.

UPDATE 1: I Removed the "shared" partition but windows still won't boot even though the files are all there. Will try to repair it with a bootable USB.
