How can I make my bootcamp partition bootable again after upgrading to El Capitan?
I recently upgraded to El Capitan OSX 10.11 and now can't boot into Windows.
If I restart the computer and hold Option down, the only option is OSX. If I use System Preferences to select the bootcamp partition as the startup disk, and then restart without the option key, I get
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key.
I tried booting with VMware Fusion 8.0.1 and got a slightly different response (see image)
From what I've read, I may need to repair the MBR. Here is some investigation I ran sudo gpt -v -r show /dev/disk0
gpt show: /dev/disk0: mediasize=750156374016; sectorsize=512; blocks=1465149168

Perhaps I should mention that I am using full disk encryption in the Mac Partition. I have no idea if this is relevant.

Try using rEFInd instead of rEFIt. It's resolved multi-boot issues for me.
You can install Ubuntu for triple booting Windows, Mac and Ubuntu.
This article has some pointers.

Interesting idea. I'd prefer not to install yet another OS if I can help it. For getting rEFInd to work under El Capitan the following might be useful apple.stackexchange.com/questions/209272/… .
