Q: How to Fix the lost Bootcamp Partition after Resizing Mac OS X Partition

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008:cool: with OS X 10.10.5 (14F27).


Today I try to change my Macbook partition sizes and Windows Bootcamp would not show in the Boot menu. I installed CampTune demo to resize bootcamp size to add 100gb to the current bootcam partition. but now my Bootcamp partition is gone and cant be seen in disk utility.

 

I try it out this program but it is stuck at the "Your system is being scanned for a Boot Camp Configuration" screen and goes no where. I've let it sit for quite some time. I've rebooted and tried, repaired permissions and tried... nothing.

 

typed on the terminal: diskutil list... and  I get this:

 

Name:~ User$ diskutil list

/dev/disk0

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.1 GB disk0

1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1

2: Apple_HFS Mac OS 223.5 GB disk0s2

3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3

Name:~ User$

 

Bootcamp partition is not listed!!. Is any chance to recover my win7 partition?

 

Please help! now I am in panic!!!

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2008), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

    This is a list of unrecoverable partitions as they lie outside the physical disk boundaries. Press Return to Continue, and should see a list of recoverable partitions.

    1. Please post the output of sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0 .

    2. Based on your Gdisk output and Testdisk output, the partition table suggests the following NTFS Start address is the most likely candidate.

    The strange part is that the NTFS part is not close to the physical end of the disk, but the GPT output should explain it. Please scroll down to this entry and use 'P' to list files. The output should look similar to the following.

    Hey Loner T.  First - Awesome thanks for helping so many people out.  I have/had a Mac Mini with Yosemite and W10 and CamptuneX, and NTFS for Mac loaded.  I was going to do some re-sizing as well with CamptuneX so I DMG'd both partitions with DU and then rebooted and something happened where W10 wouldn't load getting No Bootable Media.  I restored both partitions back with DU but now when booting up the Mac doesn't see the Bootcamp partition.  Any help is appreciated because I was gonna start from scratch.  Thanks again and apologize if this is a dupe since I am new to forums.  I DO have a working MBP that is/was a replica (same everything except hardware obviously) that I ASSUME I could do a Migration Assistant. - Rick

    Can you start a new discussion to avoid confusion with OP?  Please post the output of

     

    diskutil list

    diskutil cs list

    sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

    sudo fdisk /dev/disk0

     

    Do you have more than one physical disk in your Mini?

    Mr Loner T,

     

    the scan finished again...

    Selected the highlighted one.

    note: all the other MS data on the list shows: "Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged." message.

    No, Please do not press Escape key, otherwise you will start all over again. We can test with this partition, but the missing System Volume Information is not a good sign.
