Q: Boot camp missing when update to Yosemite
Hi, I was update to Yosemite and didn't notice the Boot camp bug, is it possible to recover back my windows 7? Because I have important data inside...
Thanks

Based on what you have posted...

Please use the following steps and test.
1. Delete the old entry and create a new entry at GPT#4.
sudo gdisk /dev/disk0

Here is an example of the delete/new...

2. This is a tedious process and you want to check after the second 'p'rint command that it looks reasonable, before the 'w'rite and 'y'es to confirm.
3. You will need to reboot after the change, because the disk you are booted from is the one being modified. Reboot will rebuild disk0s4 using the start/end you entered.
4. Run the dd command - sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk0s4 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -C and check that the first line contains "R.NTFS".
5. Once you have a working GPT#4, a new hybrid MBR needs to be created which will overwrite what you see in your Fdisk output. This is also done using GPT Fdisk (Gdisk). Your numbers will look different than what are in the following example. In most cases, you will use the default except entry 4, which should have a 'y' for bootable flag.
sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.10

partition table automatically reloaded!

WARNING! Hybrid MBRs are flaky and dangerous! If you decide not to use one,
just hit the Enter key at the below prompt and your MBR partition table will
be untouched.

Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING

Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/disk0.
Warning: Devices opened with shared lock will not have their
partition table automatically reloaded!
Warning: The kernel may continue to use old or deleted partitions.
You should reboot or remove the drive.
The operation has completed successfully.
Reboot after this step.
6. a. Test 1 - Can you see your Bootcamp volume in Finder.
b. Test 2 - Can you files in the Bootcamp volume?
c. Test 3 - Can you see Bootcamp in your System Preferences -> Startup Disk.
d. Test 4 - If Test 1-3 are successful, select Bootcamp and click on Restart. You may need Windows startup repair, if you see a hanging underline cursor at the top left corner of your screen. In most cases, it is not required.
