Hi Cara,
This is outside of my area of knowledge, but I think the problem it
that Windows (and BootCamp) requires the MBR (Master Boot Record) to
be in a specific location when there are multiple partitions on a hard
drive. This is one of the reasons why a lot of problems arise from
decisions to repartition a disk after the initial BootCamp
installation has been done, and a lot of early guides basically said,
think carefully about the sizes and parameters you want to set up at
the beginning.
Try looking at this web page: "Triple Boot via BootCamp" from the
OnMac.net Wiki and see whether it at least helps answers some of your
questions. You may still end up having to reinstall.

Ben, no prob. It's a Windows error that is basically just as
cryptic and non-explicative as I'd suggested. I'll try to get you
the actual text when I can, (need sighted help for that) but for
now, from memory, it said only that Windows had encountered an error
and couldn't load.
This was when booting into the BC partition. It was a form of blue
screen.
Now, as I'd already said, in the 'little information' I gave, this
only occurred after I'd resized a completely unrelated partition and
left the BC one alone.
I suspect this has to do with OSX rewriting the partition table
after Bootcamp had done so but am not sure. If this is the case,
I'd think there'd be a way to repair this from the Windows install
app or some such. -But that might be too logical / optimistic of me?
… lol!
Unfortunately, there just isn't any other info to give you, so my
apologies but it's as nebulous as it seems. lol! Even disc util
that warned me about the possible boot trouble didn't explain
itself. Nor did BootCamp. I'm also Googling this and as well, have
only run into more vague allusions to non-related Bootcamp use so
really, I'm still in the clouds here on this one.
Thanks though for taking time to respond.
Have a great day!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

I'd have to agree with the previous 2 replies based on what little
information you gave.
What does the error actually say and is it a bootcamp or windows one?

To restore windows on your partition, first, erace it through
bootcamp.
then, install it again.
