Cannot boot into Windows after partition synching.

Anonymous — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:06:59 -0000

I did not use the BootCamp assistant but manually partitioned the hard disk and installed Windows using rFEIt. It worked but after I synchronized GPT and MBR in the rEFIt menu, booting into Windows partition ends up with "Operation System Missing". Could you help me? How can I recover Windows?
