Q: bootcamp partition hidden in OSX
Very strange issue...
I've turned off my iMac as usual, leaving it booting alone... After one hour I went back and found it in sleep mode, but this time didn't want to wake up. Crashed. (the cause is still a mistery and I'll investigate). I rebooted my iMac and from that moment I no longer have the bootcamp partition mounted on the Finder.
In Disk Utility, BOOTCAMP partition it is greyed out, but is perfectly usable. In fact if I boot pressing the ALT key I can still choose Windows partition and boot it without problems.
This is not a big problem because BOOTCAMP partition is write-only when mounted in OSX side, but I've suspect that this is a sign of a hidden problem.
Can I fix it without too much work or I've to stay in this situation?
Thank you.
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11), null

Can you re-install OS X or if you have an option, How to install OS X on an external drive connected to your Mac - Apple Support , and boot from it and test again?
