hello everyone
yesterday I shrank a partition on my HDD (Secondary) then add that part to another on the same HDD and accidentally changed it from Basic to Dynamic
So I got something called EaseUS 7.0.1 to change it back to Basic but when it restated the computer it showed only a statement saying "EaseUS Mater Boot Mode" (I don't remember it exactly)
and then the PC would Loop in that infinitely
BIOS Operation
Windows detected and initializing then
The Previous Statement
(After about the 7th time I felt that this is not normal so I pressed the power button and shut down the PC
I really don't know if doing this was right)
After a lot of searching on the internet I found a file called "EPMBatch.ept" that I have to delete or rename in order to get windows to boot normally
Now my secondary disk is listed in the Disk Management console as "Not Initialized" and it can't show any thing about it (Unknown) capacity, Used /Free Space ETC....
What should I do now??
That Secondary Disk is all my Data including the Backups of everything and I don't want it to be Touched
I would rather Install a fresh copy of Windows if what I will do have even a slight percentage of doing damage to the data
Thanks for your help in advance and sorry of that was to much to read but I wanted to give as many details about my problem as possible to better explain my situation

P.S. the Mentioned HDD is perfectly fine in my other PC and everything is read correctly

It was Dynamic but that EaseUS thingy managed to change it back to basic while also damaging/overriding the Windows Boot record (Not sure of that) but I could fix it (That bug is really popular with many users)
But when i put in my other PC it was read as Basic
