Background Info:
I was being inpatient and couldn't wait for Valve to port Source 2 Dota 2 Reborn over to Mac, so I decided to go ahead a partition my Mac with Windows 8.1
Pre-Conor F@!#%$ Up:
Anyway once I did the partition and everything was working fine, I decided I hate Windows 8 and instead want plain old Windows 7.
Might be my fault, could be the Mac's, we will never know:
So I reboot and switch over to Mac OS X. I head into BootCamp and use the remove Windows Partition option. Halfway through this my Mac presented an error and told me that this couldn't be done (It said something along those lines, in all honesty I can't remember I just thought I'll try again!). I reopen BootCamp to find that there is no option to remove Windows, so naturally I just thought "Great it did remove it now I can install Win7. But when I go to do the BootCamp set up I'm told that I don't have enough space!
Shock and Horror Unfolds!:
The 60GB partition is now gone, it's not showing up in Disk Utility, not showing up in BootCamp it's just gone.
Tech Junk Smart People Ask For and I'm Like DAFAQ?:
I opened terminal and did "diskutil list" and got this -
I have no idea where this 60GB has gone and any help reabsorbing it into my Mac would be much appreciated. I really don't want to do a clean install and I'm also sacred even that won't do much for me!
