Q: Windows 7 partition gone after installing Yosemite

Hi!

 

I recently installed Yosemite (OS X 10.10) and now when I was going to boot my Windows 7 partition (by holding down 'alt' when booting) I realized that it's gone.

 

When I checked Disk Utility this is what I found:

The Boot Camp partition is not there. But there's a new partition (Have not seen it before) called disk0s4 and it needs to be repaired. I assume this is my no longer working Boot Camp partition (?)

 


Should I just choose the recovery option when booting and use an back up from yesterday for the disk called 1TB HD? Or what should I do to get the Windows 7/Boot Camp partition back?

 

I'm using a late 2009 iMac 27"

iMac, Mac OS X (10.0.x), Late 2009

    If you are the only user on the Mac, you also have administrative privileges, and your password will work.

    FIXED IT!!!


    Alright the first thing you are gonna need to do is download a Mac Application called Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery.

     

    When you open it click on the option to recover from drive/partition. Then select your drive "Most should be (Macintosh HD)"

     

    When you start it, it will have a bunch of blocks and will be scanning the whole drive.

     

    Once finished you should see a drive or drives with the description NTFS.

     

    When you see that congrats!

     

    When its done it will let you navigate and you will be able to see the windows partition.

     

    Then select it and click recover.

    --------------------------------------------

    Now I moved all the files on a drive and installed a fresh version of Window 7.

    After I installed it through Bootcamp, I went back to mac and added all of the original files to the Windows Partition.

    AND you should be set to go.

     

    By The Way im 15. Good Luck.

    Bootcamp does not appear as a bootable option for me either. This is my post.

     

    In my case, it was not as a result of upgrading to Yosemite but to replace my hard drive for a SSD and cloning the existing partitions instead of the whole drive.

     

    If somebody could give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks.

    Hi,

     

    After a nasty weekend trying to install an arduino clone on my Yosemite, I was thinking to install Yosemite again since I lost the support for my D610. However, after reading this post I am a bit sceptical... I want to ask if anybody knows whether or not this problem has been fixed by Apple or is still a problem. I don't want to loose my bootcamp partition.

     

    Just a comment... Apple is becoming more and more crap. I bought a mac to make my life easier but actually now is becoming more complicated than when I use to be windows.

    Hello Loner T,

     

    I am a bit of a novice and has followed your suggestions of installing the both programs.  I have seen the name changed from disk o4 to bootcamp,  where disk utility has given me the  option to mount bootcamp however it says unable to mount and I need to launch repair.  PLEASE HELP!!Screen Shot 2015-06-10 at 9.33.37 PM.png

    May I suggest that you post a new discussion and include the output of the following Terminal commands? This avoids confusion for future readers.

     

    diskutil list

    diskutil cs list

    sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

    sudo fdisk /dev/disk0

     

    The "sudo" commands will prompt for your password, and it will not be echoed back. You may also see a warning about improper use of "sudo" and potential data loss due to "abuse" of the command.

    Hey Loner T,

     

    could you help me fix my booting ability?

    Bootcamp, windows 7 not booting

    I'm no stranger to the terminal, but am uneasy doing anything that I'm not really understanding, 'cause I'm unsure if it's really applicable to me


    sudo fdisk -e /dev/disk0

    fdisk: could not open MBR file /usr/standalone/i386/boot0: No such file or directory
