Q: Bootcamp fails after El capitan upgrade (Plz help me Loner!)
Hi,
I think I've the same issue postedBootcamp fails after Yosemite upgrade (Plz help me Loner!)
But as the other user I'm a little bit scared, and I don't want to loose my Bootcamp partition.
That's why I'm asking some help to Loner (many thanks in advance).
I upgraded my MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2010) to El Capitan 10.11.5.
Then I noticed that I couldn't find Bootcamp.
As for the other issue, the partition was still there but now under the name "disk0s4".
I used Testdisk, following the advices and I found out the missing partion and also the data (I was able to make a copy)
Now I'd like to be sure to do the right steps to recover the situation.
Here is the output of Testdisk
The highligthed partion is the right one, here's where I found my data.
Now, what I'm supposing to do is to follow the same steps I read in the old post using 508484288 in step 7 and +468284272 in step 8, this way:
Rebuild GPT4 using start/end offsets
- Sudo gdisk /dev/rdisk0
- P (print the full list of parts)
- D (delete)
- 4 (part 4)
- N (new part)
- 4 (part 4)
- 508484288 ( - Start offset in sectors or the start point for Bootcamp part)
- +468284272 ( - Size offset, as opposed to End offset)
- 0700 (Windows part type)
- P (print list of all parts just to see what changes will be made)
- W (Write the new GPT)
- Y (Yes! really write the new GPT)
And then I need to rebuild the MBR (as the old post)
- Sudo gdisk /dev/rdisk0
- P (Print list of parts)
- R (Recover)
- O (print current Hybrid MBR)
- H (chooses Hybrid)
- Partitions numbers to be hybridized: 2 3 4
- Y (Good for GRUB question)
- N (part 2 boot flag)
- N (part 3 boot flag)
- Y (part 4 boot flag make NTFS bootable partition)
- O (print current Hybrid MBR)
- W (Write the new MBR)
- Y (Yes! write the new MBR)
- Reboot
I'm pretty sure I'm in the right direction, but...
Thanks a lot for any help
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

Excellent work. Both sets of the Gdisk steps are correct. If you are on El Capitan, both sets of Gdisk steps will fail due to System Integrity Protection being enabled. Please disable SIP.
1. Boot into Local Recovery (Command+R).
2. Start Utilities -> Terminal.
3. Type csrutil disable in Terminal and press Enter/Return.
4. Type csrutil status.
5. Boot normally, and type csrutil status to confirm that all individual entries are still disabled.
