Another Windows 7 Yosemite problem

I have Windows 7 (where I increased the partition size 😟) which ran under bootcamp until Yosemite, then had to be started by holding down the alt key. With he recent upgrade this option has gone.


I've looked at similar threads and here are the results of Loner's questions:

I've run testdisk, selected sudo to get root privilege

elect a media (use Arrow keys, then press Enter):

Based on previous threads I've chosen rdisk0 (not sure why)

Got the message


Disk /dev/rdisk0 - 500 GB / 465 GiB (RO)


Write access for this media is not available.

TestDisk won't be able to modify it.

And proceeded with continue without write access

To get

Thanks for the pointers on the link.


Testdisk is now working its through the deep scan (currently 150 000 000 out of 976 000 000) I guess it will run through to the end and present a similar list of "results". I'm well out of comfort zone here, so forgive the obvious question - but what do I do when it has finished the analysis? Thanks
