Glad it worked out for you. It's great you're using imaging- but note that by restoring an image all personal data on the partition restored is back to the date you created the partition, as is everything else.
Now also check your disk- just to be sure. That's easy now- get a copy of Hard Disk Sentinel (excellent, result right on GUI immediately, full functional trial, portable version available. OR basic SMART check- Crystal Diskinfo (free) - less informative.
You were lucky- this time.
There are multiple possible causes for the failure you experienced- that could be something in the Windows partition- or oneof the others, or the boot sector.
By way of explanation- if the Macrium Fixboot had failed to fix things you would have got a basic report. The next thing to suspect would be the Windows partition.
I.e. starting with the smaller repair attempt, moving to the bigger one - restoring the partition means losing recent work.
I take care to do special data backups of things that are important and change frequently more often than I do disk images.
Thus if I had to restore a disk image of my windows partition, I could then restore key data from my more recent data backup.
