Windows 10: Partition access

My SSD has Windows 10 on two separate partitions, which I use for different purposes.

There's a further partition with Windows 7.

Let's call Win 10 partitions A and B and Win 7 is C.

In the past, I got a screen allowing me to select the partition, with A as the default.

I decided to reset B, which I did successfully.

But now the partition options only show B & C, no sign of A

I can see A in explorer, and Windows disk management shows it as healthy.

How do I restore my access so that I can boot from this partition?

Thanks for any help.

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that
