Boot Camp Partition Won't Launch After HD Resize in OS X 10.9.5

Hi,


I resized my OS X partition and now my Boot Camp instance won't launch. I'm hoping @Loner T can help me with this.

1. This Gap between GPT2 and GPT3 is where a 'lost' NTFS partition should exist. Can you use Boot Camp missing after upgrade as a reference, and download Testdisk and GPT Fdisk and start a partition search using Testdisk?

2. This is not the typical MBR. Also you are missing Recovery HD, but it does not impact the Windows/OSX. Command+R will start Internet Recovery instead of Local Recovery.

Ok, scan is done:

The harddisk (121 GB / 113 GiB) seems too small! (< 181 GB / 168 GiB)

Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection...


The following partition can't be recovered:

Using the values from your screens, here is table. In your case, there is not GPT3 (Recovery HD), so I will use GPT2 as base.

There is a gap of ~2.6GB. Is this the difference during your resizing?

May 5, 2015 10:44 AM in response to rabbasad

I'm not deleting part 4 (step number 4) so which part 1-3 should I delete? It's pretty obvious, but I want to be absolutely sure.
