Bootcamp erased after upgrading to El Capitan

Hi, I have been following the steps of this thread:


El Capitan has deleted my bootcamp windows partition


which I was able to do until I reached the point of using gdisk to write the new partition requirements from the testdisk results. I get the following error:


Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING

PARTITIONS!!


Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y

OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/rdisk0.

Warning: Devices opened with shared lock will not have their

partition table automatically reloaded!

Unable to open device '/dev/rdisk0' for writing! Errno is 1! Aborting write!


I hate to clutter this forum with repetitive questions but I can't seem to find the answer to this one. Any help would be appreciated!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), Windows 8.1

El Capitan has SIP enabled.


1. Boot into Local Recovery (Command+R).

2. Start Utilities -> Terminal.

3. Type csrutil disable in Terminal and press Enter/Return.

4. Type csrutil status.

5. Boot normally, and type csrutil status to confirm that it is still disabled.
