The main hard drive (the one C:\ is on) is showing as raw
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise The main hard drive (the one C:\ is on) is showing as raw. I got a bluescreen (wish I had recorded what it said on it before I restarted, but it's probably a moot point now...
No, I wasn't doing anything in particular before I got the blue screen. I think the screen was some system32 error, but I could be wrong. It had 32 in the name.
Is a repair install different from the system repair that is presented as a troubleshooting option?
The recovery drive I was referring to was a windows installer media on a USB drive.

So I think I am going to use system restore, but I only want to restore the disk that C:\ is on (my SSD), not my other HDD (E:\) that the majority of my data is on because that is fine. On the last screen in the "Re-Image your computer", window, under:
EFI System Partition, E:,C:, \\?\\Volume{2ddab17-.....d9b}can I just get rid of the "E:\" reference? I already checked "exclude disks..." under the "Format and partition disks" setting, but I have a suspicion that that just excludes those disks from being formatted, but the data on them will still be copied (or more likely, the recover process will fail because there are things on these drives already). If that won't work, I there a way I can use wbadmin to achieve what I am trying to do? Thanks.
Should have checked to see if the textbox was editable before I posted (it's not), but the question remains: how do you insure that only the damaged drive is operated on?
