Bootcamp missing after resizing manually

I know i have seen many threads, discussions about this kind of problem. Sorry if this is posted in here if its the wrong place I mean.

Well I did some reading and wasnt so sure about going further than what I've seen was successful for others (scared to damage or lose any files on my bootcamp).

I did resize it once, and it was successful, but this time it just suddenly turned to a disk0s4 and has an amount of the very first partition I had for the bootcamp (before resizing it successfully)

Thing is I'm not that confident without proper help or guide in repairing and any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm online this very moment and day I just want to wrap this up as I won't be able to sleep knowing that my sister's thesis report are in that bootcamp.

Here is so far what i have done.

gpt show: disk0: mediasize=500107862016; sectorsize=512; blocks=976773168

In this screen, if you select Mac, you will only see HFS partitions. Try the Intel/PC partition types.

Here is what I just did on my system...

1. sudo ./testdisk

2. Select Create (new log) option.

2. Select /dev/rdisk0 and Proceed

3. Continue (because the disk may be mounted and no write access is available)

4. It should select EFI/GPT.

5. Select Advanced (Filesystem Utils).

6. Select Partition 4 (MS Data)

7. Select [List] option.

You should see this...

Try to change the code to '07' instead of '0C' for partition 4, using fdisk -e and try testdisk again.

I would suggest a Windows Recovery. Since you have attempted it at least once, can I ask that you post a screen shot of teh Recovery Console?

Can you take screen shot of the recovery console (which may be a bit painful), but may help further?

If we fail to repair the partition, is it possible that it will merge to the parition of os x? and then just re install windows and i'll just start over again with everything?
