    Well, I'm no Windows expert, but I couldn't figure out why my Windows wouldn't boot anymore.
    I couldn't find the log file that supposedly existed to maybe tell me what was wrong.
    Tried running chkdsk.
    Tried running SFC /Scannow. It did tell me that it found some corrupted files, but I got the same error after I rebooted.
    Tried bootrec /fixboot and bootrec /rebuildbcd.

    Now I'm glad that I took that image of my drive before I started. Going to attempt to reverse the process, then try reinstalling and let the installer handle shrinking the partition, rather than manually doing it myself, and see if that works any better, but I'm not super-optimistic.
