Q: Bootcamp not showing in finder
I recently reduced the size of my Mac HD on my Early 2013 Macbook Pro Retina and then booted to boot camp and reallocated the space to the bootcamp partition.
I just noticed that bootcamp is missing from the finder and from Disk Utility. I can still boot to bootcamp like normal though. In disk utility it's now called disk0s4.
Is there an easy fix for this?
I'm running 10.9.5
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Your problem is very interesting...
Your GPT shows
353662976 19384320 4
373047296 117186560 4 GPT part - EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7
while your MBR shows
*4: 07 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63 [ 353662976 - 136570880] HPFS/QNX/AUX
Your MBR is correct, so you can boot, but your GPT entry is incorrect, so you cannot see it in Finder.
To correct your GPT entry...
Use the following...
1. Delete the old entry and create a new entry at GPT#4.
sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
p
d
4
n
4
353662976
490233855
0700
p
w
y
2. You will need to reboot after the change, because the disk you are booted from is the one being modified. Reboot will rebuild disk0s4 using the start/end you entered.
3. Run the dd command - sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk0s4 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -C and check that the first line contains "R.NTFS".
4. Verify read-only access via Finder.
