Lost my Windows 7 Boot Camp partition after upgrading to Yosemite. Help!

Hi - I just upgraded to Yosemite and Windows doesn't even show up in my Bootcamp anymore.


What can I do to make this work? Most of my important data is on my Windows partition so this is scary!


Thanks!

Tony

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

First, and foremost, please backup OSX and Windows to two separate external disks, as a baseline for future restores. I recommend Time Machine and Windows Backup/Restore.

I am on the US East Coast, but will not accept any thing. I am 😀 that you have a functional system.
