Hey, I've been using bootcamp for over a year now and have been low on space for quite some time now. Today, I was really bored and decided it would be a good idea to try and add space to my bootcamp partition. After some google searching I came across this video:

Well, I watched it and thought it would be easy so I followed the steps. Basically it tells you to make space on your hard drive using disk utilities. Then going on windows and with some free software to add the free space up to your windows drive.
When I restarted I got this(or something along these lines:
“File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000034
Info: The Windows Boot Configuration Data file is missing required information”
So I looked it up an attempted to fix this myself (Oh if only I knew not to do this before because I know everything here ****ed up my whole computer)
I went to this website
http://www.wintips.org/repair-windows-7-or-vista-boot-errors-problems/
and followed most of these steps up until after I did this:
bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd which gave me errors.
Well I guess the problem is now I can't start on the windows side as it just can't.
Now when I restart I get this:
this is the error I receive when starting bootcamp:
The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible
If anything I would like to recover my BOOTCAMP partition as I can still view all the files and everything it just seems my boot files are done. Maybe there's a way to get it starting again? Or would I need a fresh install (hopefully, restoring all the data on my bootcamp partition?) Maybe using test disk?
