Bootcamp Partition Lost After Yosemite Upgrade

Like many others, I upgraded to Yosemite and have now lost access to Bootcamp and my Windows partition (which has been replaced with a greyed out disk0s4). It seems LonerT has brilliantly found a solution for this, but I am struggling to follow the sequence of steps delineated in various threads on this topic. I have/had a lot of mission critical data on my Windows partition, so am worried about accidentally making the situation worse. 😕


Here is the information I cobbled together so far:

TestDisk is free software, and

comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.


Select a media (use Arrow keys, then press Enter):

Please select the partition table type, press Enter when done.

[Intel ] Intel/PC partition

[EFI GPT] EFI GPT partition map (Mac i386, some x86_64...)

Hint: None partition table type has been detected.

Note: Do NOT select 'None' for media with only a single partition. It's very

rare for a disk to be 'Non-partitioned'.

Disk /dev/disk0 - 500 GB / 465 GiB - 977105060 sectors (RO)

Current partition structure:

Partition Start End Size in sectors

2 P Unknown 409640 684377967 683968328 [Macintosh HD]

3 P Mac Boot 684377968 685647727 1269760 [Recovery HD]

Warning: number of heads/cylinder mismatches 255 (NTFS) != 1 (HD)

Warning: number of sectors per track mismatches 63 (NTFS) != 1 (HD)

4 P MS Data 801325056 977104895 175779840 [BOOTCAMP]




So two questions: Which of these media should I select and what is the correct partition type? Where do I find the start offset and size offset values you reference here:


Rebuild using start/end offsets from Testdisk DeepSearch using GPT Fdisk (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/)

  1. Sudo gdisk /dev/rdisk0
  2. P (print the full list of parts)
  3. D (delete)
  4. 4 (part 4)
  5. N (new part)
  6. 4 (part 4)
  7. 49741824 - Start offset in bytes (start point for Bootcamp part)
  8. +187234297(Size offset as opposed to End offset)
  9. 0700 (Windows part type)
  10. P (print list of all parts just to see what changes will be made)
  11. W (Write the new GPT)
  12. Y (Yes! really write the new GPT)

This will delete and re-write the GPT partition info for /dev/disk0s4.

Thank you!!

The thing is... it is asking for a boot disk. Is that pretty normal? Or did I do something wrong?

You need Windows Startup Repair which can be done using your original Windows installer or one created using your current OS when it was functional. If you need further assistance, please start a new discussion.
