Q: URGENT! Lost +700GB after partitioning
Hi
6 days ago I deleted a partition I got(with Mountain Lion) just to make my main El Capitan partition bigger.
I entered to the Recovery Mode and used Disk Utility. The process was ok, but it stuck at 'File System exit code is 0'. I had to leave for some days, so I left the computer on because I thought it would be working.
Now I've arrived from my work trip and it was still stuck.
I've shut down the computer and now my Fusion drive 1TB + 125GB shows only 414GB.
I NEED to restore the full capacity of the drive because I work with this iMac.
I leave some screenshots right here.
Thanks a lot!
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

Hi!! I solved the problem by the following things:
1. I did a system backup with TimeMachine
2. I entered Internet Recovery and formated everything
3. I used the command on the terminal to split my fusion drive
4. I opened Disk Utility and it said if I wanted to repair the Fusion Drive or something like that
5. Voilà! Full memory recovered
(6). Reinstalled Mavericks, then El Capitan
(7). Restored with Time Machine
