OMG!! Please Help!!, disk utility does not see free space. 700 GB have disappeared !! After...

After I erased the Macintosh HD in recovery mode and wrote down to it the OS X base system. Why did I do this? Here's how it started, I wanted to delete the windows through bootcamp, clicked to restore to one partition then popped out a bug, I do not remember which one. Then I launched disk utility and I see free 700 gb space. But I can't combine free space and system 256gb. Then I enter to recovery mode, and I did something written above. Later this system was not loaded at all, I restored the system with this post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7860429. But now Macintosh HD have only 256GB (( WHERE THE OTHER SPACE?? Please help me guys, its my first Mac.

Sorry for my eng, I am from Russia.

The following commands in Recovery create a GPT4 entry using this space.

gpt add -i 4 -b 449658880 -s 1503866255 -t windows /dev/disk0

and

diskutil repairDisk disk0

If you want to do this in normal mode, using the same command, you will get device busy. You will need to use the GPT Fdisk utility after disabling SIP. The commands are (you need to ensure that if reboot changes the disk numbering, you use the correct disk - disk0 or disk1 - as necessary). (Do not type text like this, it is informational).

sudo gdisk /dev/disk0

x (Experts Menu)

l (set alignment...)

p (print)

Reboot and try BC Assistant and click on Remove/Restore.

Post the output of

sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

Do not reboot, otherwise it will change the disk numbering. Also, install GPT FDisk - https://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/ and temporarily disable SIP.

If you do not want to install GPT FDisk, we can correct it Internet Recovery after you post the output of command.

What is the year/model of your Mac (do not post the serial number) and the version of macOS?

From macOS Terminal, can you post the output of

diskutil list

Boot into Internet Recovery by holding Command+Opt+R during boot. Click on Utilities -> Terminal in Recover Console, and post the output of

diskutil list

gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

For the next command, find out the value of N that points to the HDD, before you run the command.

gpt -vv -r show /dev/diskN

Select and Copy(Command+C) the output, quit Terminal, start Safari (Get Help Online) and Paste (Command+V) the output as a reply to this discussion.

A reboot can renumber disks, so disk0 and disk1 can change. In Internet Recovery, before you execute any commands, find which the correct disk - 1TB HDD - is. I will use 'N' to denote the 1TB HDD. Please pick the correct number.

The command sequence in Internet Recovery -> Utilities -> Terminal, should be

diskutil unmountDisk diskN

gpt add -i 4 -b 449658880 -s 1503866255 -t windows /dev/diskN

gpt -vv -r show /dev/diskN

diskutil repairDisk diskN

Please post the output of the entire terminal session so we can check for errors.

What is this?

-bash-3.2# diskutil list gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0

Usage: diskutil list [-plist] [Filter] [MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode]

Display complete or partial list of whole, partition, and Storage System disks.

Filter is a combination of "internal", "external", "physical", or "virtual".

Root or administrator access is not required.
