  • Linux tools are not needed to fix Windows and are inefficient to do so Linux vs. Windows discussion most likely. :-) Commented Jul 1 at 16:01
  • @ThorstenSchöning That's a factual statement, not an opinion: From its native boot environments WinPE/WinRE, not Linux, boot issues are resolved via BootRec and BcdBoot, with partition issues resolved via DiskPart and mbr2gpt.

  • While "Linux tools are not needed" is factual, the note about efficiency seems less so. If more care was taken initially to not damage the partition contents it would've been easier to restore the partition with testdisk.
