Q: Bootcamp partition not showing up on Disk Utility

Model: Macbook Pro 15'' (retina,late 2013) El Captain 10.11.1

SSD: 256GB

trying to install Windows 7 Professional

 

After partioning my HD, BootCamp Assistant automatically restarted my Mac, and after full restart, an error appeared "Your computer was restarted because of a problem" (kinda like that). Then, i went to check my HD, and thats what i saw:

So, the thing is, my HD was partitioned, but BootCamp partition does not show up, neither in system info nor in Disk Utility

Then i went trying to install windows, restarted and selected my external drive, but, after it boots, my mouse and keyboard does not work (despite of me putting all apple's support software inside of the flash drive). I searched for it, and some people say it's a glitch when you don't install windows on the first attempt. So, i went to my BCA to try redoing all steps.

And this is what happened:

Now, i can't install windows (because my mouse don't work) and can't put my drive back again (because it doesn't have a bootcamp partition)

What should i do?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

    Click on Continue, and it will prompt you for creating the partition. If you do not want to, or you are missing disk space, please post the output of the following OS X 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.

    Notice the 'Free Space' line in your diskutil cs list output. You have about 115Gb unavailable.

     

    Please run the following command...

     

    diskutil cs resizeVolume B441D695-EFB5-46F9-8984-1D4D56E80D5E 0g

     

    (the long string came from your diskutil cs list output).

     

    If you get an error message, boot into local recovery and Repair Disk in Utilities -> Disk Utility.

    There is no Bootcamp yet, but you want your 115Gb of Free space added to Macintosh HD, which Bootcamp will use. You are repairing the whole disk, not just a specific partition.

    I've run first aid, from the disk utility, and nothing happened, when i was on local recv, i did not had first aid option on the disk utility menu (it wasn't light). I didn't understood the terminal part... when i input those commands in the second image, it does exactly the same as yours, but, when i try to verify an specific volume, i couldn't insert my disk name (like you inserted disk 1) can you help me?

    Can you run Internet Recovery (Command+Opt+R - OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support) and check which diskN is your internal disk using diskutil list in Terminal?

    Run diskutil cs list and it will show you the physical disk and the logical disk. What is the diskN vale for the logical disk - Macintosh HD?
