Hi Ahmed,

Unable to reset your PC. A required drive partition is missing

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused with Windows 10.

"i tried to reset my Asus X75VC ", did you follow the steps in the "Reset your PC" section in the below link?

Recovery options in Windows

When exactly do you get this error message "Unable to reset your PC. A required drive partition is missing"?

Are you able to boot to the desktop screen?

If you are not able to get to the desktop screen, I suggest you to run Startup repair from Advance boot option.

It may ask you to insert the Installation DVD/USB while doing startup repair.

If you don’t have an installation media, you have to create an installation media for that.

You may download an ISO from the below link:

Download Windows 10

Once your media is ready follow the steps.

• 
  After you boot your computer using Windows 10 CD/ DVD or System Repair Disc, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.
  
• 
  Select the correct time and Keyboard type.
  
• 
  Click on Repair your computer in the lower left corner.
  
• 
  Select Troubleshoot from Choose an option screen.
  
• 
  Click on Advanced options in Troubleshoot screen.
  
• 
  Click on Automatic Repair from Advanced Options screen.
  
• 
  Next, choose the operating system by clicking on its button.
  
• 
  Windows 10 will look for problems on hard drive(s) and verify that all required files are intact.
  

Hope the information helps. Do reply if you need further assistance.

Thank you.
