C:\drive under Windows(bootcamp) corrupted mac partitions. Neither Mac OS X nor Windows are able to boot. Holding theOption(ALT)key shows only Windows, which can't boot.- Internet Recovery doesn't work giving -2002F error.
- No other Mac nearby to create recovery USB.
- I have only Windows PC with internet in my disposal to fix this.
- No single user nor verbose mode loads.
How do I recover the Mac partition table? I heard TestDisk could fix that, but how do I run it?
There is not much you can do with a stock Mac to fix the hard drive.
You could plug the hard drive in another Mac (as a secondary drive, not a boot one) and see what Disk Utility tells you (press
command-spacethen typeDisk Utilityto launch it) about it but it's not guaranteed to help you much. I am not even sure it can correctly repair a boot hard drive.Your best bet is using a disk repair program such as DiskWarrior (http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/).
It costs a bit but has a very good reputation and saved many damaged hard drives. Cfhttp://daringfireball.net/2010/03/ode_to_diskwarrior_superduper_dropbox for a great example of it saving important data.

When booting with the option key held down, you do not have the option of using the HD Recovery partition?
No - then would guess the hard drive is dead.
Change the network back to WPA2. In general, Macs don't like WPA networks and the Internet Recovery in specific will not use a WPA network.
After booting to the internet recovery, have you opened up Disk Utility from the menu and tried a Verify/Repair of the drive?
What does it tell you?
Would then read through these 2 items:

If you attempt an external SD card - it needs to be 16 GB minimum.
&/or take it in to your nearest Apple store.
If the drive is ok, we've seen many reports of Apple reinstalling the OS at N/C.
