I have been trying to install Windows 8.1 via Bootcamp, and have had several problems that have resulted in failures (those are perhaps a different post). I'm using Yosemite. Currently when I run disk utility I have two partitions, one of which I can't reclaim.
Booting into recovery mode, and listing my disk makes me think things are pretty messed up, as it returns:

I think disk4 on are junk sitting around for no reason. How would I get rid of these so i can use disk utility to put that space back in my main partition? The listing confuses me also because I was attempting to install windows on a 200gb partition, which doesn't seem to show.
