Restart to Internet Recovery Mode by pressing alt cmd R at startup. The resulting file's size should be 121.3 GB or 113 GiB! Backup the whole SSD to an external drive using a Linux Live DVD with dd if=/dev/sda of=/path/to/file.The particular obstacle here is: the OP neither has a thumb drive nor a second Mac. This usually only effects the partition table but not the content of your disk (though it seems to be gone)! A proper GUID partition table has to be restored. Windows' Disk Management has overwritten the GUID partition table with something unknown.

PS: I read that I could do something with pdisk (I assume this is manually editing partition table data), but I have no idea how to do this.Īs requested fdisk, gpt and diskutils output: fdisk /dev/disk0ĭisk: /dev/disk0 geometry: 14751/255/63 I don't care about my Windows data, I just want my Mac partition back. Please help! I don't know what to do, I reran TestDisk with Deep Search and uploaded the log file: I booted with a Xubuntu LiveCD then I scanned and I found an HFS partition that seemed to be the partition I was looking for, so I set it to rimary and wrote it to disk, but it still failed to boot. I read some guides about using TestDisk, so I tried to do that. When I rebooted PC, the Mac option was gone and if I tried booting into Windows it would BSOD and restart. I then needed to create a 32MB FAT16 partition, when Windows prompted me to convert to a dynamic disk, I mistakenly hit enter. So I installed Windows 7 using bootcamp and all was fine. I got a MacBook Pro (13-inch late 2013 retina)
