I wanted to decrease the size of my mac partition so I did. Then I tried booting up windows and it didn't appear. My windows partition still appears in disk utility. I don't have a Windows 7 disk so I can't reinstall or repair that way. I have a lot of important things on my Windows side. PLEASE HELP.

I have a Macbook Pro from mid 2012. I'm currently running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4. Tell me if u need more information

With no Windows 7 disc how did you install it? Your MBP comes with an optical drive so you must use the DVD, unless it is the Retina model.

Are you able to access the Windows partition from the Finder in OS X? If so, start backing up your important stuff by copying it to an external drive if you don't want to risk losing it. In fact, if these files are THAT important, you need to develop a regular backup plan once everything is straightened out.
