Hello everyone! I would appreciate your time. I will be persistent on recovering the partition and will commit to the work to be done.
I Partitioned a 500GB hard drive (slim HGST drive) in my macbook pro 5.1.
Two visible partitions were created.
Windows 7 Professional 64bits was installed (NTFS) over second partition, of ±450GB.
After installing Windows 7, installed OS X Leopard (HFS+)to the first partition ± 50GB.
They were working ok.
After installing the infamous hfs+ paragon driver on windows, things have changed.
Well, I can't boot windows since then. I erased Leopard because didn't give options on tools and Installed Yosemite as a clean install from a USB (entire procedure done with apple disk utility). Now I have: the Windows partition that I can see the greyed disk0s4 (was disk0s3) and the working Yosemite partition.
So here is my data:

The "hold option" function brings me Recovery HD and Yosemite options.
The rEFInd brings me Recovery HD, Yosemite and Windows options, but Windows stops probably when trying to call the boot loader, so stays black screen.
Anyway, I will need that data that was into Windows. Never would assume paragon hfs+ would harm my boot sectors.
Anyone?
