Q: Mac Partition shows as windows recovery drive and I can't boot into it

I messed up something while using my Bootcamp partition and now my Mac partition shows as a windows recovery drive and doesn't show up in the boot loader. I didnt delete the partition because I still believe there is a way to fix it, but I don't know how. Someone please help me.

What is the year/model of your Mac? From OS X Terminal please post the output of

diskutil list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0

The "sudo" commands will prompt you for your password.
