Partition issue/OS Lost - Macbook Air

[skwertzke]

Hi Guys,

I recently tried partition my main drive in order to install ubuntu as a dual OS.

I partitioned using Gparted, as soon as it finished partitioning my macbook reset and now all it gives me is the 'international no' sign.

I got into recovery HD and it won't repair the disk, it just keeps showing up with the same Alert "Please click on repair disk".

I got into the terminal and tried to repair it via diskutil but it says I don't have the permission....does anyone have any idea how to recover the OS?

Here is some output + photos:

hi skwertzke.... I hope you are well...
did you ever solve the problem of those weird partitions in your hard drive?

I have almost the exact same problem.... I format earch of those partitions to erase the content of them....but they come back the same way they were after I reboot.

Can you please give me some advise in how can I solve this issue?

here is what I see in terminal, recovery mode,

-bash-3.2# diskutil list
