Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to C: drive missing.

1. Disable any Antivirus program or Windows firewall you may have for temporary purpose.
2. From command prompt and run a few bootrec commands.(Press enter after each set of commands)

Bootrec /fixMBR

bootrec /fixBoot

bootrec /rebuildBCD

3. Go to > Disk Management, > "More Actions >" select "rescan disks". Then reboot your PC
