I recently decided to make my Bootcamp (Windows 7) partition smaller, using Paragon Camptune X. This appears to have worked, as my Mac OS X partition gained 25GB, and my Windows partition appears to have lost 25GB. However, I can no longer boot into Windows.
When I press Option & enter my firmware password, I still see all three options: OS X, Windows, and Recovery 10.10.
However, if I select Windows, I get a rapid succession of command line text (much too fast to read), followed by this text:
This is followed by a Grub command line. The boot command won't work, as the kernel isn't loaded of course.
I am fairly knowledgeable with computers, but bootloaders are an area where I know next to nothing. I know that my Windows partition is perfectly in tact, as I can browse the partition from Mac OS X using Paragon NTFS. However, my bootloader is apparently broken, and being as that I have a rMBP without a DVD drive (I used an ISO to install Windows), I'm not sure how to proceed. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
