I upgraded through App Store, and after the upgrade, the boot select screen no longer shows my Windows partition, nor the recovery disk. Running diskutil list yields the following: 

/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *320.1 GB   disk0

                             Unlocked Encrypted

Disk Utility first aid passed with no error.

As far as I can remember, I allocated 100GB or so for the Windows partition. Now I wonder how I can get that back without reinstalling a clean Windows.

Running gpt shows the following:

  • I am guessing it's related to FileVault. Had it on for the fist time while installing El Capitan.

  • Probably El Capitan hosed your Windows partition: There is a giant gap of non-allocated disk space (113699624 blocks = 58.2 GB) between your Recovery HD (3) and the miserable remainders of your Windows partition (4). What does Boot Camp Assistant show after opening it?

  • it just shows two options -- download software, or remove Windows 7 or a later version. When I select the latter and continue, it warns me about wiping out the entire HD and partition it as one disk OS X of 259 GB. Doesn't look good at all. @klanomath

  • Indeed that doesn't look good. The 259 GB are also wrong. BCA should state ~319 GB. I have to search for a gpt listing showing a default Boot Camp install.

Since I need to work with both operations urgently, I have wiped out the entire 320GB drive using an OS X Yosemite startup USB.
