Hello everyone
A couple of days ago I changed my laptop window(7) and then a new small partition came up (less than 100Mb). Today I wanted to hide it with a bootable software; afterwards I faced this error:
Disk1 476937Mb 60801C 255H 63S
Appears to have partition created using a different drive geometry (238H 45S)
Unless I unhide that small partition no change happened.
Then I changed the H and S values to 255 and 63 and restart me laptop. Unfortunately new error showed that
No hard disk drive found and use ctrl+alt+del to restart....
I completely confused what to do.
Please help me with it. I have too many important information in it.

You can ignore the disk geometry as recent OS creates partition aligned on 1-MB boundaries.
Try to undo what you have done.
Consider posting the testdisk.log file content if you need help.
