You're not merging partitions essentially, but you're merging file systems. Merging two (or more) partitions isn't by definition reversible as it is more than adding up the space occupied by the partitions involved. I was thinking that maybe, if I was able to split this 64.89 GB partition in two as per the LBAs below I could be it all back to its original state When looking only at these two partitions (64.89 GB and 593 MB partitions), you can see they almost share the Ending LBA - just a difference of 1 The NTFS partition with 593 MB in there is the original Recovery partition - I can see its contents when double clicking on it - The recovery partition & contents, but the merged partition doesn't show any contents.

With the help of MiniTool's Partition Recovery Wizard I get this as the current state of my partitions - Current partitions state after merge Used MiniTool Partition Wizard, and 'queued' multiple merges in the batch.Īs C drive as involved in the merge, once I asked MiniTool to apply the changes it rebooted the PC to proceed - after concluding the first merge (C: + Windows Recovery), PC entered in boot loop as couldn't find bootable partition - now shows as unformatted NTFS Wanted to merge multiple partitions on my SSD, and added Windows Recovery partition to the mix as it was sitting between other data partitions.
