I saw that I have 520MB of Healthy Recovery Partition in which I failed to shrink and the error was "you may not shrink OEM, ESPY or recovery partitions, or, offline volumes. The volume you have selected may not be shrunk. Please select another volume and try again.".) (Also when I shrink from C: and then I do not see new partition which suppose to be seen).

So kindly help.

Hi Ravindra,

My guess is you have inadvertently deleted the OS partition.

To verify that, run these command from WinRE (booted via USB) Command Prompt
- diskpart
- list disk
- list vol
If the OS partition is missing, your best bet is to use a professional data recovery solution to recover your files from the OS partition and then do a fresh install.

Can someone please suggest me how should I ideally restore my back to normal? I am disappointed with all the update thing and Now I am careless about that particular update. Now My computer is not booting up and it shows the error I mentioned in the previous message.

Unfortunately, I don't know what happen to my computer but now my system doesn't detect the OS drive. I believe that happen because of a command in artificial which has to be disabled and then afterwards enable(reagentc /disable). My speculation is that I forgot to enable it. So I make my pendrive bootable and Try to enable it What are your thoughts guys. I ran through diagnostics and didn't detect OS SSD.

Error message: an Operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain and Operating system.

Press CTRL+Alt+Del to restart
