Computer won't boot after deleting data partition

The question still to be resolved is why is repartitioning the drive breaking the Windows 10 boot?

Extending C:\ partition to unallocated space




Boot is broken again

My whole purpose of doing this is to remove partitions D:, E:, and F: and just have one partition C: on the boot drive. Partitions D: and E: have programs installed on them so I can't just delete them. This is especially true for games because in the past I have had some of them no longer activate when reinstalled too many times.

My next step is to start uninstalling programs on the D: and E: partitions. Once done I can delete these partitions. I can then take the next step and extend C: to fill the whole drive. I can then reinstall the programs that were previously removed. The final step is to bring back the data from the deleted F: partition. This will restored from my external backup drive.
