Hello, I’m experiencing a recurring issue with Windows. It failed again, likely due to my mistake in formatting two system partitions from Linux. The diagram from DiskPart shows the layout of these partitions. I attempted to install Arch on another disk but accidentally swapped partition #1 and changed its format to fat32 or vfat for EFI boot. I created a Windows 10 installation media and tried the repair option, but it didn’t help. I’m not sure if there are any recovery points available, and the partition sizes remain unchanged.

It's usually simplest to create a backup and start over.

Looking for a solution that preserves data without requiring reinstallation?

Consider executing startup repair three times for better results.

Create a new EFI bootloader for Windows using the provided guide. Skipping these steps means selecting partition #. Note: Choose the Windows OS partition (# number) or your data partition. Adjust desired size to 100.
