Extending system reserved partition gone wrong

Anonymous

I used partition wizard to extend partition for system reserved and my pc crashed (blue screen) and restarted in the middle of the process. Now my PC won't boot, just stuck on the spinning circles of startup. rebuildbcd gives this, Total identified windows installations: 0

Is there any way to fix this?

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is William. I'm a Windows technical expert. I'll be happy to help you out today.

    Create a Windows 10 boot media using this MS guide: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    Afterwards, boot from the USB media. At the Windows install setup select the Repair option > System Recovery Options > Command prompt. From here you can use Diskpart to try to recover the system reserved partition. I believe the appropriate commands would be:

    diskpart

    list partition and note the drive letter for your system disk (it may not be C:)

    Select x where x is the Windows system drive

    active to make the drive active.

    Or refer to this iink for more for additional steps:

    Alternatively, you can use the same tool you used to bork the system reserved partition (if you have the proversion): https://www.partitionwizard.com/disk-recovery/h...
