HP 450 Notebook PC

" An Operating System wasn't found . Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system "

Hello ,
- I am having a HP laptop with Windows 8. ( At present I can't afford a new Laptop ).
- It has 3 partitions  C , D & E .
- While D and E have a lot of free space , C is almost full.
-Some body suggested to reallocate the partition from E to C.
- While trying the same I might have chosen  the option " Activate the partition " or something like that.
- I went ahead with the option in spite of a warning prompted by the system that your computer may not start .
- Now my laptop is not starting and I am stuck up.
 
My laptop has a lot of personal data . 
I am a senior citizen aged 69 years and feeling helpless .
 
PLEASE SUGGEST A WAY OUT SO THAT I AM ABLE TO USE MY LAPTOP AGAIN WITHOUT ANY DATA LOSS .
 
I am writing this mail from my android mobile device.
 
Thanking You ,
M K Gupta
