Partitions sizes not reported correctly after removing Bootcamp

Hi,

I am reading through all these threads and am hoping that @Loner T can help (or anyone, but he seems to have a good understanding of this). I did the dumb thing and uninstalled bootcamp using disk utility and now have the dreaded split HD in two partitions. I want to reinstall bootcamp but when I try to make a third partition for a Bootcamp HD it takes up all the free space on my HD. Not to mention that the reported space available in Disk Utility, doesn't match the "Get Info" amount on the Macintosh HD. I am including screen shots and will send the cs list and list in hopes you can help me. I have a time machine backup so I don't mind formatting (again), and I have a WinClone image of the old Win7 (but it was crashing hence the removal in the first place). Thanks for any help!

I am unable to format the first partition "Bootcamp" as a fat using DU. It is only giving me the options of Mac journaled, etc. Don't we need to use the gdisk program to make the hybrid first? I am very confused at this point on the steps needed to get this finished. Here is my latest output:

Winclone was able to restore to the BC partition without any errors. I restarted computer and holding SHIFT was able to get the option to start Windows, Recovery, Macintosh, EFI, EFI. I selected windows and after a couple of minutes get a black screen error that says it was unable to start, had to shut down computer and restarted into OSX and that's where I'm at.

After unplugging all external HDs, I do indeed only get 3 choices on OPTION reboot; Macintosh, Windows, and Recovery.


Starting windows just give a black screen with "Unable to load operating system" error.


I was able to get it working in Parallels, but not smoothly. Then went back and tried Bootcamp again and got same "Unable to load operating system" error. And it never starts CHDSK.
