Q: bootcamp partition not showing up in El Capitan

I just upgraded to OS X El Capitan, however, my windows partition is not showing up either in disk utility or start up menu. I see that my mac partition is still the same size as i left it (500 GB) while its missing the windows partition (250 GB). I followed this

sudo fdisk -e /dev/disk0

p

setpid 4

07

flag 4

p

write

y


but i get an error when i use the command "write" it says "operation not permitted"

 

I have a macbook pro mid 2012 with 750 GB HDD

Please help!!!

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

    Please post the output of the following Terminal commands

     

    diskutil list

    diskutil cs list

    sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

     

    You may run into more issues, because some of the tools do not work on ELC yet.

    there was a lock on the select boot camp to restart page.

    successfully restarted into Windows 10

    Click on the Lock, and then enter your Password when prompted. It should unlock the selections. You can then select Bootcamp and Restart. This is additional security in ELC.

    You have a different issue.

     

    Please download Testdisk and GPT Fdisk as shown in Bootcamp fails after Yosemite upgrade (Plz help me Loner!) and use it as a reference and run a Testdisk scan and post the output of Quick Search.

    Can you post a screen shot, if possible?

    Please see http://imgur.com/a/PjmnK . It lets you scan your hard disk for 'lost' partitions. You have at least one in the gap between GPT 3 and GPT 4.

    In your security preferences, if you allow applications from anywhere temporarily, does it let you install the package?
