Recover deleted volume C and D

• My device is MI notebook pro.
  
• By prssing 'Windows can't be installed on drive 0 partition 1 (Show details)' gets same error message
  

Actually there was 2 partition in drive C and D, C has windows files and D has my private data..

One day an update came and i downloaded and it showed to restart the system..

I restarted.. then it stucked in repairing blue screen.. i tried every it showed : uninstall quality update, uninstall feature update, restore, repair..(it was asking frequently for bitlocker keys) it only showed to reinstall windows..

Then i created a bootable pendrive and tried to install it in the C drive partition, then it showed an error saying something like : you can not install windows in this disk space, bitlocker encryption is there...

Then i searched alot to decrypt it with key.. but all tutorials showed doing this in normal windows gui..

Then i got this YouTube video (),

and i followed his steps in cmd..

1. Diskpart
   
2. List disk
   
3. Select disk 1
   
4. List volume
   
5. Select volume 1
   
6. clean
   
7. Create part pri
   
8. Active
   
9. format fs=ntfs label=surface quick
   
10. assign letter=c
    
11. Exit
    

Then turned off and then on then tried to reinstall.. then this screen came..



it shows only one partition.. with full free space..

(My thought was it will only clean volume C, and creat new C and install windows in it.. no problem to volume D, where very valuable data are there)..

The guy in the video converts this to gpt by formatting it.. but i was afraid to do that.. i stoped there.. didn't formatted.. hoping i can recover my data on volume D

Note : in another thread here i saw a moderator said : " diskpart clean" command is a simple delete command.. we can undo the deletion.. (Redirecting)

This is literally what happened..

And i want my data on volume D back..

And i hope you can help me.. thanks

 

C Drive icon disapear?

I was trying to install need for speed pro street demo. I install it in C drive directory. Somehow it got currupted.. so I delete the files manually in C drive and reboot and download pro street again.

Now my C drive picture Icon disapear and now it just a white square. Did when I was deleting pro street files in C drive somehow it effect the C drive icon? or did I accidently delete something that is not pro street file?

How do I make my C drive picture Icon back?

 

how to merge c drive and d drive

It depends on a couple things.

If you have two separate physical C and D drives, you can't merge them.

If the D drive is a partition (not a drive) and its to the right of C:\ in Disk Management, you can right click C:\ then click Extend.

Press Windows key + X

Click Disk Management

Take a screenshot then post in a reply here.

If the layout is similar to how I described it, try the following. Make sure important data is backed up if there is any.

Select the D:\ partition

Right click the ‘D:\’ in Disk Management, on the contextual menu, click the ‘Delete Volume’ option. Click ‘Yes’ when the warning dialog appears.

The Volume you deleted will now appear as ‘Free space’, you will also notice that the disk icon no longer appears in the list of volumes.

Right click the Free space partition, and click Delete, click Yes on the Disk Management warning that appears.

The volume will now appear as Unallocated. Our next step is to merge back that unallocated free space with the system partition (C:\). Right click the System volume and click the ‘Extend Volume’ option on the contextual menu, click ‘Yes’ when the warning appears.

A wizard will now begin that will guide through the steps to merge back the unallocated space with your system partition.

The wizard provides a simple procedure to merge back the unallocated space with the system drive. Once you have selected the space, click Next, at the end of the wizard, you will see the amount allocated.
