Q: Part off hdd missing
Hello,
I have a mac os el capitan with bootcamp windows 10 on my macbook pro. you can see my hdd partitions below.
The thing is if you calculate there a part of hdd missing around 70 gb. Can someone tell me how can i format it or bring it back so i can add it to MACOS partition without having to reformat the whole hdd?
Thanks in advance,
Suraj

Once i partitioned using the Windows disk management, MAC stopped working and so did the recovery partition. So i did internet recovery of mac after which mac and boot camp both were working but there was the gap of 70 gb that was missing.
I searched online and just now used gparted live on usb to partition the unallocated space. after using this the missing partition came back but bootcamp stopped working.
So now I have deleted the bootcamp partition(wasnt using it anyways) out of frustration. And now my drive has 250 gb back on MACOS. So now all I want to do is get the recovery partition back. If possible el capitan as i do not want to always restore mavericks and then upgrade to el capitan.
I have macbook pro 13 retina display late 2013 model.
So using third party software to create partition worked for me.
