Fix Mac BootCamp after accidental disk (re)partition

Repartitioning your Storage Drive (e.g. shrink and resize) after installing BootCamp can corrupt the boot record for your bootcamp. Fixing this is vey simple but writing this as I can forget how to get to the beginning.

  1. From within Mac's System Preferences -> Startup Disk choose to boot from the Windows HD
  2. Restart your system
  3. Boot using the original Windows installation media. (Insert media and press "Alt/Option" during startup)
  4. Choose the option "Repair your Computer"
  5. Choose the option Startup Repair.
  6. Let the process complete and reboot.
  7. Your should have booted using the boot camp. (As we set the startup disk to windows in step 1)
