Windows does not boot anymore, as shown in the images below the error code 0xc0000185
is displayed. I never did a backup or a recovery disk of Windows, is there anyway to fix this? I assume that that file system was corrupted due to a sudden lack of electricity in the middle of a uninstallation process. What I care most is to recover my data.
I tried to pull out the HDD from the notebook and tried accessing its data from another PC, but it didn't work.
Translation:
Recovery
Can't start the PC correctly
A necessary device is not connected or is inaccessible.
Error code: 0xc0000185
It will be necessary to use the recovery tool provided with the installation medium. If you don't have the installation medium (disc or USB device) get in touch with the system administrator or the PC manufacturer.
- Press Enter to retry
- Press F8 to show boot options
- Press ESC to show the UEFI settings

The computer encountered a problem and must be rebooted. The collection of information about the error is going on. At the end, it will be possible to reboot the computer. (0% completed)
To get more information, search this error online: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
There are many options available to do that :
A) If you have the windows installation media, or a recovery disc (maybe using someone else's PC to make one), you can try doing a system repair.
B) You can also try to access the "advanced startup options" menu.
C) If both of the previous options aren't working, try to go to the "safe mode" menu, by pressing F8 right after BIOS/UEFI prompt (you can also "spam" the key after power button press). Then, choose command line from there, and try to run chkdsk C: /x
(it's windows' self repairing utility).
D) Use TestDisk to recover/rebuild NTFS boot sector and NTFS MFT.
Don't hesitate to ask (or edit) if anything here seems unclear.
