I accidentally damaged my C drive :)

I mistakenly made my C drive active, but now the computer won't boot. I've tried several solutions without success. My laptop is a Mac, and I can't create a bootable USB that works. Please help me.

It seems there might be some confusion. It looks like you're asking why someone touched the drive even though everything was functioning properly. You're suggesting creating a bootable USB with an Ultra ISO and requesting help from a MAC expert.

I don’t understand why you touched it. It really surprised me. With UltraISO, you can create a bootable drive from Mac OS?

Ensure your boot disc or ISO is on a USB drive. Start the computer, select Repair your computer without installing, then choose Advanced settings and repeat to reach the Command Prompt. Be mindful, this operation runs with root privileges. You can later adjust the active system partition using DiskPart. Here’s what I did: List disks, select the main drive, choose the system partition, activate it again. Also, refer to the guide from WindowsCentral about creating a Windows 10 installer USB via Mac and Boot Camp. Updated February 21, 2019 by KawaiiNeptune added more details.

No need for bootcamp, you can create a bootable USB without it. MacOS also supports this process.
