The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.
Hi Loner T, I've followed this thread from the start as I have the exact same problem installing bootcamp. This is my first Mac so I'm definitely a newbie and made the mistake of erasing windows and trying to delete the bootcamp partition as I didn't make the partition big enough in the first instance.
I now am in the same boat that Barncore was in and I too am not very "techie".
I did boot into recovery and use disk utility and cs list...this is the result.
Could I take the liberty and ask if you'd cast your eye at the image and give your verdict. It is a late 2013 iMac 27 with I7 processor, 24 GB ram and a 1TB fusion drive.
I'm sorry to burden you with this but you seemed so knowledgable in the thread and I'm desperate to get windows 8.1pro back on as I need it for a couple of programs that are only available within the windows environment.
Best regards.
P.S. When I booted into recovery and ran repair disk in the top drive it listed this in red, although it said the disk appeared ok.
"Invalid disk label @ 4096 cksum mismatch".

Can I suggest a new discussion? Since you are in Recovery (I assume Local Recovery - Command +R), this may be a bit more painful to post output with photographs. Can you boot normally into OS X without any issues? If yes, from OS X Terminal post the output of the following Terminal commands.
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
The "sudo" commands will prompt for your password, and it will not be echoed back. You may also see a warning about improper use of "sudo" and potential data loss due to "abuse" of the command.
It is much easier to post information from the normal boot of OS X. If we need to go back to Internet Recovery, it can be done after we gather some information.
Yes I can boot normally without issue, here are the outputs..
