I created a a 152GB Bootcamp Partition, but Windows could not be installed as 'the disc was of the GPT partition style'.



I rebooted my mac and used Disk Utility to delete the partition. I tried to create a new ExFat partition, but received an error saying operation failed due to an internal error.



Upon checking, I realised my Macintosh HD had a capacity of 847GB. It was 1TB before the bootcamp partition. Disk Utility displays my hard drive as a single partition however.



I ran the diskutil list command in terminal and received the following:



/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: GUID_partition_scheme *1.0 TB disk0

1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1

2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 847.0 GB disk0s2

3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 153.0 GB disk0s3



It appears somehow the bootcamp partition's space was added to the Recovery Partition instead of my startup disc.



Is there any way to rectify this and add the space back to my startup disc?
