When this happened, I was trying all this, I luckily had a working macrium reflect backup before the deletion. Fixed the corrupted state that I ended up in trying to repair the deletion.
Fun fact. If you deleted partitions you can always recover those by simply making the partitions again and having the partitions be the exact same size. So don't panick and just remake the partitions of the same size as it was and all your data is back. Havins said that, I highly recommend a clean install for Windows once a year, if you use Windows (I prefer not to).
hello i accidentally deleted may system partition and yeah i want to create a new partion but after inputing "create part efi size=1024 its say "No usable free extent can be found" i dont know what to do can you help me?
thank you so much! just started dual booting linux on my windows pc and when I switched from openSUSE to Fedora something went wrong during the installation and Fedora wiped the bootloader partition but left my windows install intact, so this is almost exactly my situation! i'm going to try the steps in this vid tomorrow and i'll comment again to let you know if i was successful. btw, because only the bootloader was erased, i was abled to get all my important files off of the windows partition through linux and back them up, so even if im unsuccessful i can just format the windows and reinstall without losing anything (except 2 days of work.... but i have several days of work in a coding project im working on in the windows partition so at least i'll save that :D)
If I don’t have any disks(/bootable drives) under list disk in diskpart but I do have windows 10 installation media in a bootable usb how should I move forward? (Nuked everything unintentionally with diskpart clean all)
I have a question, does erasing a partition also removes the space of the drive? Lets say i have 500gb partitioned in disk 0 (400) and disk 1 (100), if i erase disk 1, will my drive lose the capacity of storing 500gbs because i erased those 100gb? (forcing me to live with 400gb forever?)
Can we do the same recovery if the Windows partition is encrypted by BitLocker? I guess not, and I suppose the boot partition is also encrypted? If so, how can we fix it?
I have the BitLocker key, but not sure if that helps (I did break my Windows boot partition previously, but no data there so I just simply wipe it out.)
@@daodao8345 I think this solution should still work. (afaik) the bootloader only contains enough data to tell your computer where the OS is and boot to it, and from there the OS handles itself. this should include bitlocker. bootloader will get it started and then bitlocker will take over to decrypt the data. i'm really not sure but from what i've read this should be the case. i hope youre able to fix your system :)
Thank you SO MUCH. My brother was about to throw his ssd to the trash, but we managed to recover his data. For anyone interested/ or having the same problem: The battery of the CMOS was REALLY low, pc restarted and claimed it didn't have boot disk. BIOS somehow deleted the boot partition. We checked and in fact, there was no windows. Thanks to this video, we recovered windows, we are still downloading the updates but we didn't lose any important files or the license of windows.
@ChrisTitus which is better? Install all OSes in one drive and have several others or create partitions(1 big drive) for their data/home locations? Like LVM ....I haven't done but it's being on my mind ...If you don't have all OSes in one drive do you have to always boot to bios/uefi 1st ?
