Setup: OS X 10.8.3 and Windows 7 32-bit installed through Boot Camp dual booted on a RMBP. 500GB disk space, ~150GB for Windows 7 and the rest for OS X

Problem: I had the brilliant idea of encrypting my hard drive without accounting for side effects on the Windows partition. I right clicked "Macintosh HD" in the desktop, and selected Encrypt "Macintosh HD" which ran for a few days before I checked on it again. Turns out the Encrypt menu was still greyed out, suggesting that it hung up on something. I restarted, and that's when the party began.

Normally, Windows 7 appears with rEFIt upon boot. However, I went straight to OS X. I decrypted the drive and rebooted, but nothing changed other than I no longer had to enter the disk password. Here's the relevant outputs I thought of, but I can definitely provide more.

Code:
Boss% diskutil list; echo; diskutil cs list
/dev/disk0
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

   1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS Macintosh HD            338.0 GB   disk0s2
   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3
   4:       Microsoft Basic Data                         61.4 GB    disk0s4
/dev/disk1
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     Apple_partition_scheme                        *21.0 MB    disk1

No CoreStorage logical volume groups found

Right away, there's a problem here. The Microsoft Basic Data partition is 61.4GB, not 150GB. The initial partition I made with Boot Camp was about that size, but I used Carbon Copy Cloner (I think) to increase the size to 150GB. It's showing the original size.

Code:
Boss% diskutil mount disk0s4
Volume on disk0s4 failed to mount

From Disk Utility:
Code:
Mount Point :	Not mounted	Capacity :	61.42 GB (61,417,193,472 Bytes)
 	Format :	MS-DOS (FAT)	Available :	-
 	Owners Enabled :	-	Used :	-
 	Number of Folders :	-	Number of Files :	-

I can't mount it in Disk Utility. disk0s4 is greyed out and clicking Mount does nothing. I don't know why the format says FAT and not NTFS.

Nobody has any thoughts? Guess I'm screwed. I'll format it. Thanks for reading.
