update to Capitan corrupted bootcamp

Loner, (continuing from Re: Bootcamp gone haywire after Yosemite update)

I'm facing the same problem when I updated to OS X EI Capitan. Below is my setting

prashanths-MacBook-Pro:meanHelloWorld pranag$ sudo gdisk /dev/disk0

Password:

Sorry, try again.

Password:

GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.1

Warning: Devices opened with shared lock will not have their

partition table automatically reloaded!

NOTE: Write test failed with error number 1. It will be impossible to save

changes to this disk's partition table!

You may need to deactivate System Integrity Protection to use this program. See

for more information.

Partition table scan:

I ran the test Disk and it gives the below selections

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

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

>Disk /dev/rdisk0 - 500 GB / 465 GiB (RO)

Disk /dev/rdisk1 - 148 GB / 138 GiB (RO)

I selected rdisk0

Below is what it shows

Write access for this media is not available.

TestDisk won't be able to modify it.

- No partition from this disk must be mounted:

Open the Disk Utility (In Finder -> Application -> Utility folder)

and press Unmount button for each volume from this disk

- This media may be physically write-protected, check the jumpers.

>[ Continue ] Continue even if write access isn't available

[ Quit ] Return to disk selection

What do I do?

The large gap between GPT3 and GPT4 contains a lost NTFS header. Use Testdisk Quick Search to get the list of recoverable partitions.

it gives me the below output

Disk /dev/disk0 - 500 GB / 465 GiB - 976773168 sectors (RO)

The harddisk (500 GB / 465 GiB) seems too small! (< 850 GB / 792 GiB)

Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection...

The following partitions can't be recovered:

Partition Start End Size in sectors

Mac HFS 976773124 978042659 1269536

What do I do?

These are unrecoverable partitions. Press Enter/Return to Continue. The next screen should give you list of recoverable partitions.

Use 'p' to list files in the MS Data entries and post a screen shot. You should see something similar to...

You need to use a "+" sign to indicate offset, not absolute end position. This will rebuild only the GPT. You will also need to rebuild the MBR once the GPT is corrected.

Rebuild MBR to match the new GPT information thus resetting the Hybrid MBR. Use defaults for other questions (like partition codes). The only values that need modifications are the Boot flags and step 10. Accept all other defaults that Gdisk offers. Please see thesample Q&A as an example. These steps can be repeated if you make a mistake before you get to Step 12, otherwise start from Step 1 for these steps. Step 6 has numbers which are typed with a space between the numbers. Please see the sample Q&A before you execute these steps.

Sudo gdisk /dev/rdisk0
P (Print list of parts)
R (Recover)
O (print current Hybrid MBR)
H (chooses Hybrid)
Partitions numbers to be hybridized: 2 3 4
Y (Good for GRUB question)
N (part 2 boot flag)
N (part 3 boot flag)
Y (part 4 boot flag make NTFS bootable partition)
O (print current Hybrid MBR)
W (Write the new MBR)
Y (Yes! write the new MBR)
Reboot

Here is sample Q&A for this section. Please notice the Press Enter/Return.

Place EFI GPT (0xEE) partition first in MBR (good for GRUB)? (Y/N): Y

Creating entry for GPT partition #2 (MBR partition #2)

Enter an MBR hex code (default AF): Press Enter/Return

Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): N

Creating entry for GPT partition #3 (MBR partition #3)

Enter an MBR hex code (default AB): Press Enter/Return

Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): N

Creating entry for GPT partition #4 (MBR partition #4)

Enter an MBR hex code (default 07): Press Enter/Return

Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): Y

Test 1 - Does Bootcamp Volume show up in Finder?

Test 2 - Can you see files in Bootcamp Volume?

Test 3 - Can you select Bootcamp in System Preferences -> Startup Disk?

Test 4 - If Test 3 is successful, select Bootcamp and Click Restart.

what do I do?

I'm trying this which I got from one of your earlier posts

You have ELC System Integrity enabled.

1. Boot into Local Recovery.

2. In Utilities -> Terminal type

csrutil disable

3. Boot normally.

4. Execute Gdisk steps and test and verify.

5. Repeat Step 1 and type

csrutil enable
