Q: Recovery Request!!!
In windows 7 which was on my BOOTCAMP, I used disk management to shrink Drive "C:\" and then creating one more partition. It caused the startup failure of both MAC OS and WINDOWS!
unfortunately even when I used Internet recovery and then Disk utility, I couldn't access to my partitiona and backup.
Disk Utility indicates partitions Unmounted and "windows_DLM" format type!!!
I'm Certain that when I used to shrink my BootCamp partition, I did nothing with MAC Partition.
Is there any scenario to recover data on my partitions?
and if the answer is yes, what are the scenarios?
please tell me How can I do to not loosing my data?
I read some articles about TestDisk program which is a recovery software but now I have no OS to Start from!!!
and an article describing using "dd" command in Terminal to create image, But actually I don't realize what can I do and what's the solution for such a problem occured!

Please use How to install OS X on an external drive connected to your Mac - Apple Support to install OS X (even if it is an older version offered by Internet Recovery) and upgrade it, till it matches your internal disk OS X version and then boot from this disk. Your internal disk can be inspected and can be corrected after we look at the disk partitions.
