Hi everyone,

Today I managed to screw up my mac Book Pro by deleting a partition while logged into Windows 8. Can't boot back into Mac OS X.


I have Mac Book Pro retina 2013 and have Windows 8 installed on a partition, under Bootcamp.

Today i felt adventurous and decided to install the new Unity5 under the Windows 8 partition. For some reason after it was done - some phantom external F drive showed up and in a foggy state I went into my disk manager and deleted a partition thinking this would be the way to get rid of the phantom drive.

It seems i have deleted an OSX related (small) partition and now I can't boot into OS X and CMD + R goes into internet recovery and I do not want to reinstall OS X.


I installed and tried Mini Tool partition Recovery but the tool said something like OVERLAPPING Partitions and i googled a bit more and figured that using windows partition recovery might be a bad idea.

I have attached a screenshot of my windows disk manager. There is a small unallocated partition. My Mac HD seems fine and I can access data and copy files to the Windows partition, I am currently backing up the mac drive.

But can't boot into Mac OS X.

I have no idea where to go from here. Please, help.
