Question Bootcamp install not viewable after partitioning free disk space in Windows

Curious if there is any way to fix this short of reinstalling the windows install.
And even if that is the solution, I still would like to use the space.

My bootcamp install is/was on a second physical drive.
680 gig.
I wanted fat32 so I could share files, so I made a 32gig fat32 partition and installed windows.
No problems.

I booted into windows and formatted the remaining free space on the disk into a NTFS partition. Just for data storage. I dont want to waste some 600 odd gigs of space.

I booted back into osx and theres no bootcamp viewable, I can't even tell it to reboot into windows again.

Im assuming formatting any part of the drive via windows somehow screwed something up.

If I need to reinstall and start over, thats understandable (although if theres a way around it I'd rather not). However I definitely want to make use of that other 600 gigs of space and not just leave it floating out there.

Help?
