Q: Lost about 30-40GB of free storage due to failed manual partition creation

Hello everyone,

This morning I ran Boot Camp once again (, as I hadn't figured it out completely so far) on my rMBP (OS X 10.10) with 120GB of flash storage and successfully created the bootable USB drive as well as the corresponding partition.

After the automatic reboot, I deleted the created partition to recreate one manually in ExFat format in order to prevent any errors I had encountered previously.

During the manual creation (via Disk Utility) of this partition, my MacBook restarted (I don't know if it does that ordinarily). After this restart, I had some problems with black screens but resolved those by just restarting the MacBook twice, and the strange thing is that the partition that should have been created manually by me was missing and almost all of the storage that I had freed for the partition was gone/lost.

So, now my question, of course, is: Where could this storage have gone and how am I able tor recover it to finally install Windows 8.1 on my Mac?

In another thread where someone seems to have a similar problem, someone named Loner T asked for some outputs of certain commands, so I have them prepared for anyone who's interested in those:
