Messed up built in partitions

[tigeriser]

I bought this Samsung laptop with a built in Windows 8.

It only had one usable partition on the disk, i.e. C: drive

But I wanted a separate partition for my data, while having OS on C: drive

So I installed a partition manager, (EaseUS Partition Master, as far as I remember)

I created a separate partition D:

I wasn't satisfied with the allocated size of the new drive, so I tried to extend it, but then I realized I was having few partitions (without any drive letters) in between drive C and D; and extension could only be made to an adjacent partition!

Out of frustration I deleted one of those partitions in between.

I guess it was a recovery partition, having size of few GBs.

Now I want to know where do I stand and how much am I messed up!

And how safe is it to delete the remaining of those partitions?

I have attached current screenshots.

Leave them as they are. Windows automatically creates those partitions for recovery. If your PC has problems down the road, you'll need them.

LEAVE EVERYTHING THE WAY IT IS.

If you change anything, your laptop will not boot into Windows and you are SOL without a Windows installer.

Thankfully, you deleted the recovery partition, which has a recovery image if you have problems later. Do not change anything else, because what you have left is essential for the computer to boot.

Can I create a recovery partition now?

You can't create a recovery partition, but you can make a usb recovery drive.
