How to recover my SSD from simple drive under windows

Question

hello,
it starts when i used the bootcamp to partition my 256GB SSD to install windows in my MBA, the target is to have iOS & WIndows7 each in separate partition of course + 3rd partition for my data.
so everything went all right until i get to Windows manager>driver manager then shrink the windows partition, this done successfully, and the new Unknown partition appears, accidentally i converted it to a simple Drive, this converted all the SSD to simple drive.
later once MBA reboots, Mac and Recovery partitions are not there, they disappear.
the question is
1. either how to roll this activity back?
2. or, how to recover my MBA to factory defaults?

Answer 1

How old is your Mac Air? If it is one of the late 2011 models or a 2012 model then you can use Internet Recovery to Re-Partition the drive as ONE Partition. You need to do that to clear out all the problems you now have.
To use the Internet Recovery system you hold down either Command+r keys or Command+Option+r keys at startup and hold them down until you see a Spinning Globe in the certer of the screen.
If Command+r doesn't work then you use the Command+Option+r keys. One or the other will get you to the internet Recovery system.
Right when you used Windows to repartition the Windows partition it screwed up your whole system. You CAN NOT do that, Ever. Once you create a Boot Camp partition to install Windows in you have to Leave it Alone and there is no other way to install Windows on a Mac that also runs OS X.
There is NO way to FIX your system other then to completely wipe the drive be Re-Partitioning the drive as one partition and starting over with the install of OS X, Programs and personal files.
Sorry but I thought I made that clear in my first post.
If your system did not originally come with Lion installed and is older then a 2011 model then you will need to dust off the Original System Discs that came with your system and start with those as systems older then 2011 models can not use Internet Recovery.
You can only have One Partition for Windows, the one you originally create with the Boot Camp Assistant program.
You can have multiple partitions made by OS X and one of those could be formatted FAT so both Windows and OS X can use it.
But with only a 256GB drive you are going to run out of space someplace, on OS X or Windows, and even more so if you again partition the drive to include a third partition.
