An Update to my Mac COMPLETELY Obliterated Boot Camp

Apple Community,

Please help me. Two days ago I performed an update; I have a 27 inch 3.2 GHz iMac (not sure what kind of specs the community needs here). I updated to the OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 and the update completely erased my boot camp. I had 300-400 (not exactly sure how much I had) GB partitioned to the Windows 7 side. I tried to just repartition it today, and start from scratch. It won;t let me do it. Can I recover this data? Can I just revert it?

Please someone help me...

Stephanie

Also, I will check this regularly...

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

You are seeing the current state. Press Enter/Return for a Quick Search. It may take a bit of time to scan. Please be patient. It will first give you a list of unrecoverable partitions. If you Continue, you should see a list of recoverable partitions.

Loner T, Please forgive me for barging in on this thread but I think you are an expert on boot camp problems when upgrading to El Capitan. I desperately need to get in touch with you. My contact information is John M. I'm in a real crises situation. Is it possible to please call me.

Can I suggest a new discussion, and let us determine whether a phone call is going to help in any way or not? I suggest you edit and remove personal information.

Can you look for entries for MS Data partition(s)? You can scroll down, but it may take a bit of scrolling.

Can you post a screenshot of these? The larger the number, the better.

With respect to size, not sure what you're looking for. So that is all of them.

On the middle screen shot (Screen+Shot+2015-11-02+at+8.33.35+AM.png) , can you scroll down to the MS Data and use 'p' to list files? To get back to this list, use the Escape key only once.

Should I list files for each of the MS Data, or one of those ones in particular?
