Seems to be a very common problem that requires a lot of customisation so many thanks for the support in here people
There are so many threads to go through but figured to mention my problem maybe it has been solved before and i can follow the footsteps.
What i did was reduce OS X partition size, restart in bootcamp windows 7 and used Mini Tool Partition to acquire the free space. Restarted windows worked great for a couple of days until i restarted in OS X which as most threads here have boot camp is called disk04 and can not be mounted nor can it been seen in startup disk.
All i want is to get the windows working as i have no backup (i know!) and to sort out the missing space.
I will continue to go through the post but any pointers will be appreciated !
As per original post, here is the results:
