Not sure what's going on, considering I haven't even touched my Windows drive. I'll try to give as much information as I can.
Here's my current build:

I have Windows 10 installed on my SSD. I have 2 partitions on my 1TB hard drive - a 700GB ntfs partition for my data, and a 200GB Mac OS Journaled partition for my attempted El Capitan install.
I set up my BIOS settings to the optimized defaults and got the Mac OS installer to launch using this guide.
I'm currently stuck at the end of step 4. I started the installation but it failed since I forgot to set the scheme on the drive to GUID. Then I read about mbr patches so I was about to get started on that, but now when I try to boot to my Windows SSD, I get the "Missing Operating System" error, which is really unsettling. When I go into the BIOS I can see the drive as a boot option, but when I select it I get the error. Also up to this point, I'd been booting back and forth between my USB drive with the Mac OS installer and my Windows drive with no issues.
When I boot back into the Mac OS X installer, I can see my SSD has not been reformatted or wiped and still has all my data. I don't see any changes.
I'd love some advice on what I should be doing to troubleshoot this issue. Let me know if I can provide more information.
