Bootcamp win8.1 autorepair fail after yosemite upgrade

Hello Loner T,


I try to post directly here, as my problem is quite similar to another you answered before Loner T.

I have read most of your posts on reporting diskutil and testdisk

I have testdisk and gdisk ready to use

But, yes theres is a "but" :-), i got a different display that seems more complex to me... i got 5 partitions and the one that seem to be the right partition is the 5th and the 4th dont remind me anything.


Here are my outputs :

Oops i forgot some details

At boot bootcamp never disappeared

Windows 8.1 bootmgr is launching but i think it's not on the right disk (disk 4 contain a strange temp folder and a recovery file) > seen on finder

disk4 has the ntfs header but it's not the right disk

disk5 dont have the same header

As i remember there are only 4 partitions on my computer...


And it's not possible to mount disk5


I have run testdisk, could you help me on the output pls ?

That upgrade is going me crazy... :-D

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

And to answer you, what do you mean by install ? The first one or my upgrade to yosemite ?

Yes i have an Hybrid MBR as reported on gdisk :


pc12:testdisk-7.0-WIP Denis$ sudo gdisk /dev/disk0

Password:

GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.10


Warning: Devices opened with shared lock will not have their

partition table automatically reloaded!

Partition table scan:

Found valid GPT with hybrid MBR; using GPT.

If you look at disk0s4, it says Microsoft Basic Data System Reserved. I have seen such partitions when Windows disk part was used on a disk.


Can you post the NTFS header that you see on disk0s4?


It is likely that Yosemite split it mistakenly.


As a quick test,


1. Delete GPT#4 and GPT#5 via Gdisk.

2. Create a new GPT#4 with start at 287242240 and size of (184739840 + 1269760 ) = 186009600.

3. Create new Hybrid MBR using this new GPT.

4. Check if you can see Bootcamp volume in Finder and your files.

5. Try starting Windows via Startup Disk.

There is the hexdump :

You should reboot or remove the drive.

I reboot and tell you the result.
