Windows partition disappeared after Yosemite upgrade

Question

Hello!I have Mac OS and Windows 8 on my MacBook Pro retina early 2013. After upgrading to Yosemite, Windows partitions does not show when I press option key when the MacBook starts. So I can boot now just on Mac OS and not also in Windows 8.Here is a printscreen of my diskutitlity: http://www.shareimages.com/image.php?78905-qJGZnZGjmZyrnQ-screen_shot_2014_10_29 _at_19.45.20.pngCan anybody help me with this?Cristians-MacBook-Pro:~ PlayXP$ diskutil list/dev/disk0   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *500.3 GB   disk0   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1   2:          Apple_CoreStorage                         150.4 GB   disk0s2   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3   4:       Microsoft Basic Data                         349.0 GB   disk0s4/dev/disk1   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER   0:                  Apple_HFS Mac OS                 *150.0 GB   disk1                                 Logical Volume on disk0s2                                 0F014A75-86E7-4185-B3CE-A2737C5712B2                                 Unlocked EncryptedCristians-MacBook-Pro:~ PlayXP$ diskutil cs listCoreStorage logical volume groups (1 found)|+-- Logical Volume Group B90BBF7E-5AFB-413A-9857-950239F6C079    &#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;&#x3D;    Name:         Mac OS    Status:       Online    Size:         150418022400 B (150.4 GB)    Free Space:   35700736 B (35.7 MB)    |    +-&lt; Physical Volume 21C4041F-3D8C-4713-B85C-999DF9463B87    |   ----------------------------------------------------    |   Index:    0    |   Disk:     disk0s2    |   Status:   Online    |   Size:     150418022400 B (150.4 GB)    |    +-&gt; Logical Volume Family 61BD26AB-753E-4F00-8D1E-DF5140483AF4        ----------------------------------------------------------        Encryption Status:       Unlocked        Encryption Type:         AES-XTS        Conversion Status:       Converting        Conversion Direction:    forward        Has Encrypted Extents:   Yes        Fully Secure:            No        Passphrase Required:     Yes        |        +-&gt; Logical Volume 0F014A75-86E7-4185-B3CE-A2737C5712B2            ---------------------------------------------------            Disk:                  disk1            Status:                Online            Size (Total):          150046769152 B (150.0 GB)            Conversion Progress:   Paused            Revertible:            No            LV Name:               Mac OS            Volume Name:           Mac OS            Content Hint:          Apple_HFSCristians-MacBook-Pro:~ PlayXP$ sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0Password:gpt show: /dev/disk0: mediasize&#x3D;500277790720; sectorsize&#x3D;512; blocks&#x3D;977105060gpt show: /dev/disk0: Suspicious MBR at sector 0gpt show: /dev/disk0: Pri GPT at sector 1gpt show: /dev/disk0: Sec GPT at sector 977105059      start       size  index  contents          0          1         MBR          1          1         Pri GPT header          2         32         Pri GPT table         34          6                  40     409600      1  GPT part - C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B     409640  293785200      2  GPT part - 53746F72-6167-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC  294194840    1269544      3  GPT part - 426F6F74-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC  295464384        576           295464960  681639936      4  GPT part - EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7  977104896        131           977105027         32         Sec GPT table  977105059          1         Sec GPT headerCristians-MacBook-Pro:~ PlayXP$ sudo fdisk /dev/disk0Disk: /dev/disk0    geometry: 60821/255/63 [977105060 sectors]Signature: 0xAA55         Starting       Ending #: id  cyl  hd sec -  cyl  hd sec [     start -       size]------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1: EE 1023 254  63 - 1023 254  63 [         1 -     409639] &lt;Unknown ID&gt; 2: AC 1023 254  63 - 1023 254  63 [    409640 -  293785200] &lt;Unknown ID&gt; 3: AB 1023 254  63 - 1023 254  63 [ 294194840 -    1269544] Darwin Boot  4: 0C 1023 254  63 - 1023 254  63 [ 295464960 -  681639936] Win95 FAT32L

You do not seem to have much of a gap between GPT#3 and GPT#4. It is likely that you will lose your Recovery HD, till it is rebuilt. Can you use Yosemite Upgrade Broke Bootcamp as a reference thread, download Testdisk and GPT Fdisk and start Testdisk to look for deleted NTFS headers/partitions?

cristianculea · Answer

I have deleted the Recovery HDD for Mac OS, when I have installed Windows 8.1, because Windows 8 didn&#x27;t allow me to have more than 4 partitions. Everything worked fine.Last evening I have upgraded to Yosemite and Windows 8.1 partition disapeared form BootCamp. I see disk04 in Disk Utility, but I can&#x27;t see also the 2 NTFS partitions of it.What can I do to be able to boot also on my Windows partition?Thank you a lot, Loner T!

I have seen this Yosemite Upgrade Broke Bootcamp, but I can&#x27;t understand too much. Can you explain like for a newbie in Mac OS, please?Thank you very much!

Loner T · Answer

Yosemite becomes unpredictable in non-standard configurations. If you notice you have a Recovery HD now, even though you had deleted it to get around the 4-partition MBR limit prior to Yosemite. The best method is to use Testdisk and find deleted partitions. The referenced thread deals with a "standard" 4-partition setup and the issues due to Yosemite upgrade. The Testdisk and GPT Fdisk tools are needed to start the analysis.Test disk can scan the disk sector-by-sector to find deleted NTFS information or backup NTFS sectors to help rebuild partitions.

Can you advice my step by step for what can I do to recover my lost partitions and to be able to boot in Mac OS and also in Windows 8.1?

cristianculea · Answer

What partitions should I scan now?

cristianculea · Answer

Look what it says: "Write acces for this media is not available."For &gt;Disk /dev/rdisk0 - 500 GB / 465 GiB (RO) it says the same.For  Disk /dev/rdisk1 - 150 GB / 139 GiB

cristianculea · Answer

I think I find the Windows partitions. What should I do next?

Loner T · Answer

Do not use "Non-Partitioned media". Please scroll up to the EFI GPT and run an analyze and Deeper search.

cristianculea · Answer

Should I run testdisk on rdisk0 or disk0?

Loner T · Answer

Please use rdisk0.

cristianculea · Answer

Thank you, Loner T.

Are you posting on the other thread as well - Windows 7 partition gone after installing Yosemite? Just use this one, do not use the other one, otherwise it will get confusing for both of us.

cristianculea · Answer

Yes, I have posted there, too.I will use just this one.
