Hard drive partition completely missing

So today, I tried partitioning my hard drive with boot camp. I followed through with it and restarted my 2015 Macbook Pro (El Capitan). However, it did not boot to Windows (Windows 10), and nowhere does it show that it was partitioned for windows. I can't even see the bootcamp disk in disk utility. However, I know that something was partitioned because even though this is a 500GB SSD, it says that its capacity is only 371GB. How can I restore all the capacity back to the Macintosh HD disk?

Did you actually install Windows 10?


Boot Camp helps you install drivers for Windows, and helps you partition your hard drive, but it doesn't install Windows for you. You still need to purchase Windows 10 and install it using this guide.


If your computer "thinks" Windows is installed, use the following link to uninstall and reformat your hard drive via Boot Camp:
