If you change the partition that contains your C drive.....yeah, it won't boot.

What were you trying to do?

Without knowing exactly what you did or didn't do, it is impossible to suggest a fix.

Along with the System Reserved, and who knows what else.
Possibly try Easus Partition Master to try to fix it.
