I'm struggling with lack of OS X system, after i've used ESUS partition tool in Windows (i have High Sierra and Windows installed via bootcamp). Recently i've found that windows partition resize operation change osx partition to NTSF.

Is there any way to get it back working ?

I see that partition is in good shape - i see my data when i'm using recovery software ...

Thank you.

It's a bad idea to repartition Mac disks within Windows. Data loss can result.
In any case, it looks like what you have there is an APFS disk, not NTFS. The disk was probably APFS before any sort of resizing operation. You haven't clearly defined what the problem is– does the computer now not boot into macOS? If so, you will probably need to reformat and restore from backup. You may be able to repair the disk using the recovery partition and Disk First Aid, but that still may not work.

Hi,
Thank you.
Yes it was APFS.
OSX will not boot, as OSx thinks that it's NTFS. And windows thinks it's RAW. I cannot do any repair with any tool as mac will not allow to select and do nothing with this Partition. Please take a look at screenshots. Thank you.
