Hello
this should not be changed just by using the recovery creation system!
unless the recovery partition is deleted, and the data partition is changed, rarely the case!
Can you give screenshots of Explorer and Disk Manager.
Are you sure you haven't tried to change anything?

Hello
i will probably need the pc model!
from what i can see here, you should have two drives, an SSd and a sata hard drive
And it seems that a reinstallation has been carried out, but not as it should be, because here, the SSD disk has been copied to the SATA disk, and it seems that the reinstallation partition is no longer available ...
Has the recovery disk been created?
What would be necessary, it is disconnected the hard drive sata, in order to see if the pc restarts well from the original SSD.
There there are no other solutions, it is necessary to format completely, the hard disk of 932gb ..
You have to be very careful, and not erasing the SSD system disk, is what you think you can do.
