Looks like iPartition didn't create an entry for your Boot Camp partition in the MBR. That would explain why you can't boot from it, but doesn't explain why OS X can't see it.

There was a previous thread about something like this and there was a setting that needed to be turned on in iPartition. Let me see if I can find it.

EDIT: https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/11659792/
The final resolution was that iPartition has an option to "show partitions to Windows". This is off by default. By turning it on for the partitions, Windows was able to read the partitions.

I can't help with iPartition, but you could try gptsync from rEFIt, gptrefresh from Winclone or gdisk from http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/ to sync the MBR entries to the GPT ones.

Just as with any partition operation there is a risk that you can lose data, so proceed at your own risk without a backup.

i can't find the download links for these programs
and is there any other way to fix my disk?
