Hello. I was installing a Linux distro and I have accidentally deleted the system reserved partition-I know it's stupid -. Of course now I cannot boot into either my windows or Linux, actually I cannot find my hard drive at all in the boot menu, I have Windows 10, I tried startup repairs using recovery mode, it couldn't fix anything, also I tried resetting the BIOS settings to default, didn't work either. Suggestions?
 
Solution
That instruction is so unnecessary complicated.
Boot from windows 10 installation media, go to command prompt:
First you have to recreate efi system partition:
  • list disk
    select disk 0
    create partition efi size=100
    exit
Then recreate bootloader:
  • bcdboot x:\windows
(x - volume letter of windows partition, could be c, could be d, depending on number of drives in system)


Download https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10, unpack/extract to USB, boot from USB.

Hi, I have the similar situation, but I can't even boot into windows installation via USB anymore.

It just goes into bios all the time & no UEFI boot at all. Can you help please?? I am quite desperate now
