Q: windows partition not showing

I had windows running perfectly and yesterday I decided to create a third partition and since I created it the windows partition is not showing anymore, I can only see it in the disk utility but I can't access to it

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

A:

Can you use El Capitan has deleted my bootcamp windows partition as a reference and download Testdisk and GPT Fdisk, and start a Testdisk scan?

 

Can you post the output of the following 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.

    If you are running El Capitan,

     

    1. Boot into Local Recovery (Command+R) during power up.

    2. Run Utilities -> Terminal.

    3. Type csrutil disable and press return/enter.

    4. Boot normally.

    5. Type csrutil status in OSX Terminal and verify that is it disabled. If still enabled, repeat.

     

    In OSX Terminal, enter your password if necessary.

     

    sudo fdisk -e /dev/disk0

    p

    setpid 4

    07

    flag 4

    p

    w

    y

     

     

    Reboot and test.

    Command+R is Local Recovery, Command+Opt+R is Internet Recovery. If it is looking for a WiFi network, it seems your Local Recovery is corrupt.

     

    Can you verify that your WiFi network meets the requirements as noted in OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support ?

    Can you try a Command+R after Reboot again, please? It should not ask for a WiFi Network or password.

    Unless you really want to get into the guts of the disk partitioning techniques, my suggestion is to use a product like Winclone, Terabyte Image for Linux (TBIL) CloneZilla or CampTune to clone and restore to a larger partition.

     

    Manually expanding it requires the use of Gparted.

     

    The simplest option would be to backup your files, remove BC/Windows (using BC Assistant only), and re-install Windows with a larger size. This is the Apple-recommended method.
