Yes. With this specific partition, your partition table looks correct.

Can you use this table and the NTFS Start/Size in steps 7 and 8 in the linked thread (make sure you use the plus sign in step 8) and run the two sets of the Gdisk steps?

Please download Testdisk and GPT Fdisk and use Boot Camp disappeared after El Capitan update as a reference to run a Testdisk scan and run a Quick Search.

Testdisk is a Terminal utility. Did you download it from http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download or somewhere else?

GPT Fdisk is the same way - http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/ .

ELC has System Integrity Protection enabled by default. To disable it temporarily for diagnostics purposes, (this is the correct version of the nvram command you referenced earlier).
     a. Boot into Local Recovery. Power down your Mac, power it back up, and hold the Command+R.
     b. Run Utilities -> Terminal
     c. Type csrutil disable
     d. Exit Terminal
     e. Reboot normally.

I have successfully installed GPT and this is what I have now from Testdisk. Which media should I select?

Now do I go for analyze here?
I hate to be so needy, but I really don't know what I am doing to be completely honest. So please bear with me

Yes please use EFI/GPT. I had much rather be asked questions than have larger issues come up. Please do not use left/right arrow keys in partition screens.

I have a screen shot album - https://imgur.com/a/PjmnK - but please do not use Deeper Search yet. It takes a while and is usually not necessary, unless there is catastrophic failures.

Man, I wish there is more responsible people like you!
OK. I checked your screenshot album. but I ran into something that's different from what you had in the album very quickly.
(EFI/GPT > Analyse) Please let me know were do I go from here...

I need to post a new version to keep in sync with Testdisk version. Press Enter/Return to Continue with Quick Search. (or I can use what you are posting now. ).

OK.
Now I have this. In your album you only had Mac HFS, but in the reference thread, that user chose MS data, so which one should I go with?

If you will notice, this is a list of unrecoverable partitions. Press Enter/Return to Continue. You will then see a list of recoverable/viable partitions.

Yes. So I does not matter which one I choose? Or do I go with the default - MS Data?

You are not choosing any partition, you are choosing the Continue 'button' at the bottom left of the screen.

Oops...sry

Then after "p":
Have I locate the lost partition?
