Hello,

i tried to install Linux on external HDD, but it somehow messed with primary internal HDD with Windows 10. I dont think it erased data. I think it has to do with partitioning or MBR.

Windows shows that OS require repair and shown error 0xc000000e . I tried to run repairs from WIndows DVD, but it not found any solution and no restore points.

There are advices on how to fix that error of WIndows:
https://neosmart.net/wiki/0xc000000e/

i tried several partitioning tools and some said partition on the WIndows drive is not active and adviced activating. I did following:

gdisk 1 /ACT /P:1

to activate partition on the WIndows drive.

From now it do not even show 0xc000000e Windows page.

I tried to deactivate partition using gdisk

gdisk 1 /-ACT /P:1

but shows that -ACT switch is not known

I can still boot Windows DVD and go to commandline to do fixing commands like:

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd

but i assume by marking partition active using gdisk, i made it more difficult.

Here is photo of the problematic WIndows drive partition layout:

Is there anyone who looking on the photo above, can help what to do with any of partitions and how to create/regenerate Windows 10 boot loader again?

Thank You alot

Thank You for the input. What kind of repair do you mean, which exact action on which partition? BTW: i already tried to apply this boot image you are mentioning to my USB flash and tried to boot it several ways, but the best output i got was the partition program launched, partitions shown, but i was unable to move mouse cursor or interface not accepted any keyboard inputs. it was like frozen. But it worked for me to run Gparted from which the above mentioned photo is taken.
 
I tried to execute commands:
bootrec /fixmbr
result: complete

bootrec /scan
result: Total identified Windows installations: 0.

bootrec /fixboot
result: complete

i tried:
bootrec /rebuildbcd

and followed commands int his article: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/rebuild-bcd-store-windows.htm
which should result in boot record be created new, but i see my C drive do not have "boot" folder.
It has WIndows, Program files, but not boot. Please any idea how to fix?

DiskPart shows these partitions:

In relation to the image seen in my previous post. I found an advice that might help to set "Recovery" partion as active instead of C (Primary?) partition? Here details.
 
Thank You, i actually already installed Minitools on my bootable USB flash, but mouse & keyboard not worked in the interface. Moreover im using this program on Windows and i never seen any option to "recover my Windows" in it. Maybe you mean some actions leading in recovery but im amateur in this and as stated i do not see what i need to do when looking on the partition structure seen in my photo provided a few posts earlier.
 
Thank you for advice, here is the full image tutorial on how that recovery process works.
So i assume you think that some partition was deleted from the primary (Windows 10) drive by Linux installer which i used to install Linux on external HDD. Thank you for advice.
 
No, you've simply wasted the boot information and probably written over it. Once you're back in Windows you can then manually add the others.
