Question No boot after using Aomei dynamic drive manager

[kane_1371]

So me in my epic wisdom while trying to increase the c partition size also converted the drive that C was on into dynamic.
Then I wanted to use Aomei partition assistant to increase the C volume and saw that the program demands the drive to be converted back to basic through the dynamic drive manager.
It is supposed to be a simple conversion with no data loss with their program but after the program prompted restart the system did not do a normal restart, instead it went suddenly to the initial start bios screen, then system went through it once more and asked for proper boot.
So this is what I am stuck at.
I can not imagine the drive being wiped because even deleting files should take some time and there was no such a thing.
I have no idea what happened.
Any help would be appreciated
System is running a windows 10

Yikes. Do you by chance have a backup of your important data in case this cannot be recovered?

Also, while it is unlikely the drive was wiped (as you correctly stated, that would take time), it is very plausible that the partition was wiped, or is at least in a state where booting to Windows as normal is not possible. Such an alteration to the drive would take virtually no time at all. I would suggest starting by seeing if Aomei Partition Assistant has a bootable disk available as part of the software package where you can use it to check your drive and attempt to undo any previous changes. A simple rollback like that is going to be your best bet for getting your machine back up and running. If it does, but the rollback is unsuccessful, the bootable Aomei disk should it exist may also have a way to browse your formerly bootable drive to allow you to back up any important data.

You can make a Bootable drive with it, but I did not.
I can enter the uefi shell but idk if there is anything important to do from there

First: Do you have any full system image backups for your system, preferably one taken very shortly before the unfortunate actions with AOMEI?

If so, I'd strongly suggest you simply restore your system.

If you do not, I would strongly suggest you see if you can pull the drive and connect it to another machine as an external drive to determine whether it will be easy to retrieve your data from it before starting over again from scratch with Windows 10.

I hope you may have an option to convert back, but I would not hold my breath.
