Windows 10: Partition disappeared after "locking" shutdown. How to fix it?

Greetings,

Some few days ago, my Windows 10 Tablet/PC suddenly displayed a "locking" blue screen and shut down right after. I believe this happened because the battery was low.

Since them, when I turn on the PC, what I an EFI boot screen. This is not the first time that I see this screen in this device. I used to fix this problem by going to the Boot Option #1 in the bios and choosing the Windows Boot Manager. However, that option disappeared from the list of options in Boot Option #1.

I tried to fix this problem by using the prompt command from a recently created Windows 10 installation media USB, typing the following commands:

diskpart list disk sel disk 0 list partition list vol

list disk sel disk 0 list partition list vol

However, the Disk 0 which is the 120 GB SDD from this device has free space equal to it's full size and no partition on it, which leads me to the conclusion that something happened to the partition that existed here before the locking blue screen.

That said, is it possible to recover the partition without losing data? If so, how can I do that?

Details in the picture bellow.

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
