I have a late 2010 MacBook Air. I was running Windows from an external drive on it and I have erased some unused partitions from my MacBook drive. After restart I notice that my primary partition on mac is no longer mounted and somehow has been transformed from HSF to ExFAT. Does anybody know a method to recover my partition or recover the data from it? I also have 50gb of unallocated space that might be use to install windows but I don't know how to create a mbr partition from terminal for Windows. I've attached some pics with the current partition scheme. Thank you.

All I wanted is to erase some unused partitions but I was very tired and completely forgotten about the partition scheme. So at this point I have only a unmonted partition and the terminal from the Lion Recovery Drive.
