Bootcamp disappeared after resize OSX

Hi all,

First of all my English is not very good, but I've tried to fix my problem with things I find in the forum but I get a little complicated. So I come to ask for help with this. I'm not the first person to resize your MacOSX to give more space to Bootcamp. So I did it once with Winxtool and all was well. Then I needed more space so I went back to reduce space and MacOSX has disappeared boot my Bootcamp and MacOSX recognizes neither. I need to access the information that I have in the Bootcamp. It is vital for me, since I have many projects and have not backed off that partition.

Here an image of partition sizes.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

You can not resize partiotions on a drive containing a Boot Camp partition unless you use CampTune.

In this specific case, the OP wants to attempt a recovery to prevent data loss, because there is no backup. It is at least worth an attempt.

It is possible to follow instructions for an average user and learn, IMVHO.

I admire your effort and I hope the OP can save his data.

Even in that execution continues and carries 63% of the process.

Please select partition 4 and use Option "P: List Files" to see if you can recognize any files. A "Deeper Search" may also be needed. This can be very time consuming.

I give up, do not think I can retrieve that information. I can not waste more time and now will work 24 hours a day to re-do the project and I have to hand it to maximum term until June 26.
