Windows partition corrupt or unbootable after Yosemite upgrade

My windows bootcamp partition no longer shows up as an option to boot to when hitting "alt/option" while starting.

Reads in disk utility as "disk0s4" and says can't repair disk. How do I recover or backup files?

When I tried the sudo commands, I entered the only password I recall having on this computer and it didn't work. Any idea how I can figure that out as well? My apologies, as I'm out of my element and don't really have any idea what I am doing here.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), null

Here is a table for verifying your partition table as it is now...

The Sector Offset of 620 MB is the same size as Recovery HD. What was the version not OSX prior to the Yosemite Upgrade when Windows was working properly?
