Can anybody please help me ? I already posted my problem on the Apple Support Communities but unfortunately without results. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7522221?start=0&tstart=0

PROBLEM:

I had succesfully updated windows 7 to Windows 10 on my Macbook Pro and ran Windows already several weeks smoothly.

Unfortunately I did not make a backup of my windows files yet (especially PST outlook files).


Today when I booted to El Capitan to connect my iPad to iTunes Windows gave me a message that it needed repair when I tried to reboot to the bootcamp Windows version.

It did not succeed in repairing and only gave my an advanced options menu.

I booted back into MacOS to find that the windows partition was renamed to 'Untitled' and that no files were visible in Finder.



I than ran Disk Utility and selected First Aid on this partition, I thought this was read only to check for disk errors.

Now when booting from Windows it says no operation system available and Disk Utility shows 496 GB empty space on this partition !



I hope not all my files are lost !!

What can I do to repair the bootcamp partition ? I tried to install setup bootcamp files on USB but cannot boot from USB (does not show the USB drive)



thank you !

As you can see on the thread in Apple Support we managed to find one version of windows and made it bootable but this was my old version of windows ? with old emails ? There must be a much bigger partition with the new one on it !

In the meanwhile I getting to like OS X so much that I think I will switch to Mac OS for the future but I much so much like my emails back !! ;-)
