How to recover deleted partition using a bootable USB?

To make the recovery process clearer, we divide it into two stages:

Stage 1. Create a bootable USB on a running computer

Since the Windows OS is unable to boot after the system partition is deleted by accident, we need a working PC to help us make a bootable USB.

Step 1. Connect a USB flash drive to a working Windows computer, install and launch AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional on this PC as well. Click "Make Bootable Media" and "Next" on the next window.

Step 2. Tick "USB Boot Device" in the pop-out small window and click "Proceed" to start the pending operation. When it finishes, unplug the USB drive, and you will get a recover deleted partition bootable USB.

Stage 2. Recover deleted boot partition

Insert this bootable USB into the computer whose system partition or boot partition is lost, restart the PC, and constantly press F1, F2, F12, or other function keys to enter BIOS. In the BIOS setting, change the boot order to boot from the bootable partition recovery tool.

When you log in, you will be taken to the interface of AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional automatically. Then, you can follow the steps to get your deleted Windows partition back.

Step 1. On the main interface, click "Recover" > "Partition Recovery" on the left panel.

Step 2. Select the disk which contains deleted boot partition.

Step 3. Select "Fast Search" which takes less time for the first time and click "Next". If this method is not working, you can select "Full Search" later.

Step 4. All the lost partition found will be listed, tick the deleted boot partition and click "Proceed". Then, click "Finish" to exit the operation.

Conclusion

Be calm when you accidentally delete boot partition next time, you can use a recover deleted partition bootable USB created by AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional to fix the error easily and quickly.

In addition, for sake of preventing system partition from losing due to hardware/software failure, virus assault, or other unknown reasons, you are suggested to clone Windows system to SSD or HDD as a backup. Once the accident happens, you can restore your PC to the previous state as before.
