Windows 10: Deleted recovery and boot partitions; can no longer boot

Yes I already looked and it's definetly my C drive with my information on it. I now have the SSD with only 1 partition, the one with my C drive.
I also currently have the same version (1511) of Windows 10 on another laptop, so I can take the boot partitions from it and hopefully copy them to my problematic SSD.

 

OK. Is it the 200GB partition ? Please confirm. The dispart result you posted earlier has 2 partitions. One is 200GB the other is 3086KB

 

Yes it's that 200GB (now 238.5GB) since I deleted the non working boot partition i had tried to recover and added unallocated space and extended the 200GB partition to that.

So now I have the C drive (238.5GB) partition with my information on it. No other partition is existent.

 

EDIT: Before making backup, you also need to set the ID of the 200GB partition to be Basic Disk, not System.
OK.Boot up Macrium, Command prompt

• diskpart
• select disk 0
• select par 1 ------>200GB partition
• set id=EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7 override
• exit

Next, create a backup image of the whole SSD to an external drive then use the link below to rebuild the first 3 partitions (450MB Recovery, 100MB EFI System, 16MB MSR partition) to the SSD then copy your C drive from the backup image to the SSD.
The final result is also shown in the link. You'll end up with 4 partitions
Old Recovery partition

This is what should be as if you do a fresh install of Windows.

 

You now have to shrink C by 566MB
Move the OS partition to the right, so unallocated freespace is at front of disk

then you can use Diskpart to re-create the missing partitions

 

What software do i use to creat an image/

 

Macrium. Just use KYHI's Recovery or use the Rescue disk you created, run Macrium, click on Backup tab then create the image for the whole SSD, make sure to save it on the external drive. It will create a single file with .mrimg extension.

 

OK so i have a backup of it. Which post do I start at on your link?

 

I've already posted on #18, Use OPTION 2 and download the template for the deleted partitions, unzip and save it to the same external drive as before:
Old Recovery partition

 

Before proceeding, is it normal for the reflect image to be like 20 files? Thats what it gave me, like 20 different files of about 4GB each...

 

The problem is your external HD was formatted as FAT32. FAT32 can only store 4GB max for a file so it creates multiple files. You need to format the external drive as NTFS then it will create one single file. You will need to re-create the image again.

BTW, did you set the ID for the partition to be Basic Data disk before makin the backup ?

WARNING: Don't format if you have other files stored in the HD. Format will wipe out the whole disk.

 

Ok.,I'll be back later this evening then. Thank you

 

There is nothing wrong with Fat32 and the 20 files. Just leave it for the time being. It will work.

 

@whs
I know it'll will work on a normal restore. However, I am not sure when trying to copy the whole partition using drag and drop as I've never done it with multiple files so just to be sure, I suggest to re-create it.

 

Understand. But even drag and drop should work if you chain them together. Nevertheless, your point is valid.
