While I'm waiting for help from Microsoft, can ya'll assist me with this? I followed this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0i8hgo1E6A when I wanted to convert my MBR hard drive to GPT, and thinking I had 2 recovery partitions (Saying that because i don't), I deleted one like the guide said and now I have no idea how to recover it. At first, I got the error: REAGENTC.EXE: operation failed: 2 REAGENTC.EXE: an error occurred. After seeing this forum post: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wind...e9f84e01c1 , which had a situation very similar to mine, but since it had many examples, I got confused and probably did something i shouldn't to my drive so, I tried using "reagentc /enable" once again and somehow managed to change the error to "REAGENTC.EXE: Windows RE image not found." by accident, so I saw this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1GZoZrwAo0 , but even after following it, the same error still appeared. By the way, now that I used the MBR2GPT command on my computer, when I try to shut it down, it says it's shutting down but turns back on, but the BIOS screen doesn't appear. The BIOS screen only appears when I restart. Also, the button on the computer case and the power button on my keyboard stopped working, so the only way I've found to shut it down is by switching off the power supply. I'm not sure if these two things are related, but I'd be very grateful if you could help with both issues. Here are some questions I think might be asked, so here are the answers: Using UEFI: Yes CSM disabled: Yes Fast boot: Yes Commands executed as Admin: Yes Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and System Reset Configuration Information: Windows RE status: Disabled Windows RE location: Boot Configuration Data (BCD) identifier: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 Recovery image location: Recovery image index: 0 Custom image location: Custom image index: 0 DISKPART> list disk Disk # Status Size Free Dyn Gpt Disk 0 Online 931 GB 2048 KB * Disk 1 Online 14 GB 0 B Disk 2 No media 0 B 0 B DISKPART> list part Partition # Type Size Offset Partition 1 Primary 579 MB 1024 KB Partition 2 Primary 438 GB 580 MB Partition 3 System 100 MB 438 GB Partition 5 Primary 524 MB 438 GB Partition 4 Primary 492 GB 439 GB DISKPART> list volume Volume # Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info Volume 0 F Reserved NTFS Partition 579 MB Healthy Volume 1 C NTFS Partition 438 GB Healthy Boot Volume 2 Reserved NTFS Partition 524 MB Healthy Volume 3 E NTFS Partition 492 GB Healthy System Volume 4 FAT32 Partition 100 MB Healthy Hidden Volume 5 D READYBOOST FAT32 Removable 14 GB Healthy Volume 6 H Removable 0 B No Media

I resolved my second problem by turning off hibernation in the BIOS. It doesn’t allow the quick 4-second BIOS startup, but it works now.

Turn off Quick Start. We recommend avoiding this unless required. For a complete shutdown, press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.

As mentioned in my previous update, I ended up turning off hibernation. After adjusting BIOS settings, I disabled it in Windows but noticed slower startup times compared to when both options were active. Now the 4-second BIOS launch is working again.
