Q: Windows partition corrupt or unbootable after Yosemite upgrade

My windows bootcamp partition no longer shows up as an option to boot to when hitting "alt/option" while starting.

Reads in disk utility as "disk0s4" and says can't repair disk.  How do I recover or backup files?

tests-MacBook-Pro:~ johntcreedonjr1$ sudo gpt -w -r show /dev/disk0

When I tried the sudo commands, I entered the only password I recall having on this computer and it didn't work.  Any idea how I can figure that out as well?  My apologies, as I'm out of my element and don't really have any idea what I am doing here.

    Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?

     

    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.

    Thanks Loner T - just posted the first two but hit a snag on the sudo commands.  I typed in the same password I use for upgrades/installations and it didn't work.  How do I figure out or reset password for sudo commands?  Thanks!

     

    I tried enabling user and changing passwords in Directory Utility but that password still doesn't do it.

    You seem to have a very prevalent malady of the upgrade. Please see Lost my Windows 7 Boot Camp partition after upgrading to Yosemite. Help! as a reference and download Testdisk and GPT Fdisk and start a Testdisk scan. The gap between GPT3 and GPT4 is the most likely place for a lost NTFS header.

    Thank you so much!  Downloaded Testdisk and GPT Fdisk and read through threads but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how to actually boot Testdisk.  I followed the step-by-step guide, looked up some videos but I just can't figure the simple act of opening the program.  I have it in a folder on my desktop, it says its a text file, and whenever I click on it, it just opens up terminal and I have no idea what to do there.  I tried a number of commands and directories to try to boot it from within terminal but I have no idea what I'm doing and have yet to succeed.  I've never used nor opened terminal before today.  How do I initially open testdisk?

    Open Terminal.

    cd ~/Desktop

    cd TheNameOfYourTestDiskFolder

    sudo ./testdisk /dev/rdisk0

     

    If this not work, post the output of ls -l

    Thank you again but now it says command not found.  The folder is correct, the file is there.

     

    tests-MacBook-Pro:~ johntcreedonjr1$ sudo ./desktop/testdisk-7.0.mac_intel/testdisk-7.0/testdisk

    sudo: ./desktop/testdisk-7.0.mac_intel/testdisk-7.0/testdisk: command not found

    tests-MacBook-Pro:testdisk-7.0 johntcreedonjr1$ sudo ./testdisk /dev/rdisk0

    Password:

    sudo: ./testdisk: command not found

    tests-MacBook-Pro:testdisk-7.0 johntcreedonjr1$ sud ./testdisk

    -bash: sud: command not found

     

    How do I get output "output of ls -l"?

    Type 'ls -l' in terminal and press enter. Copy and paste the output.

    The highlighted line shows the additional 'x' which is a mnemonic for execute. It is missing in your case.

     

    Please try

     

    chmod a+rx testdisk

     

    and test again.

    Okay.  I got it to work and ran a test.  Thank you for your patience and assistance!

     

    Here are a few screenshots of the test with some apparent anomalies, let me know if you need me to post more.  What next?

    Can you hit Escape once (and only once) and go back to the output of the Quick Search?
