I took the following steps to resize my Windows partition. These are well established and should have resulted in a larger Windows partition that boots fine.

Boot Windows 7/8 from GPT on BIOS system: No hybrid MBRs or DUET!location: 7forums.com - date: February 7, 2014Hi guys,Till now, Windows 7/8 x64 could boot from a GPT disk only on a UEFI system. Methods to enable this are hybrid MBRs and DUET.
Both of which are hacks.We now have a simple way to boot windows (BOTH 32bit AND 64 bit) from a GPT disk on a BIOS system WITHOUT hybrid MBRs or DUET, using just a small MBR disk to hold bootmgr, can be HDD or USB stick. It can even be a floppy It will just hold the boot files.GPT is preferable for several reasons, independent of UEFI: No 2TiB limit on Hard disk size No distinction between primary and logical partitions, and the associated space allocation decisions. Partition table is redundantly stored, checked using CRC No conflict of partition types No need to use the logical partitions which are i.

Can't dual boot windows 8 and windows 7 on EFI GPTlocation: 8forums.com - date: January 16, 2014Here is my dilemma, I have 3 hard drives a 500gig drive and 2 3TB drives. In order to get full disk space.I had to change my drives to GPT in a UEFI environment. I installed windows 8 on one of the 3 tb drives and then installed windows 7 on the 500 gig drive.
I have successfully booted into both windows but not by bootloader, the only way I can get into either is by switching the drive order in the efi. If I have the windows 8 drive on top then I cannot access windows 7 through bootloader.I get a signature error and if I swap I get the same error for the other windows. I am guessing that since the boot info is on each partition.I am royally screwed and will have to enter each windows by changing the boot sequence.
