Boot camp parition missing after upgrade to OS X Yosemite

Lately I upgraded my Mac OS X to Yosemite, and my Boot camp parition is gone.

It would be nice if someone would help me to recover it.

I've followed the instructions: http://nerdr.com/bootcamp-partition-lost-repairing-mac-partitions/ and added partition 5 to MBR, now when my mac is booting up and I hold ALT key, I can choose Windows, but when I do there is info: Missing operating system.


Is there any way to fix it?


Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), half of 2010

I tried photorec, but it doesn't support *.cs files.


I've created custom signature as in: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Add_your_own_extension_to_PhotoRec

but when I try fidentify and select a cs file it returns unkown, can you help me with that?


cs 0 ...namespace

cs 0 namespace

cs 0 using

cs 0 ...using

sln 0 .....Microsoft V

userprefs 0 ...<Properties>.

it's the content of photorec.sig file which I put in the same directory as program.
