Lost some storage by panicking

Hi, i went to install windows 7 on my mac and i panicked and force quit bootcamp while it was partitioning the hard drive, then i tried to do it again and I saw that I didn't have the same storage I had before. Can someone please help.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Can you post the output of the following OS Terminal commands?


diskutil list

diskutil cs list

sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

sudo fdisk /dev/disk0


The "sudo" commands will prompt for your password, and it will not be echoed back. You may also see a warning about improper use of "sudo" and potential data loss due to "abuse" of the command.

You do not have any storage that is lost.

You have 499.2 GB on a 500GB disk. It is fine. The following also confirms that there is no lost storage.

Please go ahead and run Bootcamp Assistant and install Windows using appropriate size. I recommend using 100GB for Windows, at least.
