    I did these commands

    If you still have Recovery Partition, you can recovery it easily.

    1. Run cmd in administrator mode.
    2. Type "diskpart" (without quote)
    3. Type "list disk"
    4. Type "select disk 0"
    5. Type "list partition"
    You can see 1 partition have label OEM (this is recovery partition)
    6. Type "select partition X" ( X is number of OEM partition. It can is 3. You type "select partition 3")
    7. Type "active"

    Reboot laptop. It will boot by partition recovery.

    Good luck
