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.

By the System Repair if you are referring to sfc or dism command, yes, it is different but similar. Those commands are using Windows local resources and if they have been damaged, they won't be able to fix it but repair from the Windows installer is repair from the latest file in Windows installer and normally it is not corrupted.

    I am referring to system image recovery.  The problem is, I only want to repair the SSD my C:\ volume is on.  I tried the repair yesterday and it didn't work because I had excluded my HDD because it was unaffected.  I got the error below.  How do I only reformat the damaged drive?

      Thank you for the clarification, in case you have access to the command prompt, try run the following command:

      sfc /scannow
      DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
      DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

        I am still trying to repair my laptop and I have been trying to re-image things using a recent system image that was made by an automatic backup. The problem is I get a message saying that a disk could not be restored (0x80042402) image below. I tried Macrium Reflect, but after many hours of painstakingly slow loading, it said it couldn't find an image. Could the reason be because my version of Windows is the Enterprise version, and that version is not on the repair disk (doing "dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:"e:\sources\install.esd"/0 indicated every flavor but Enterprise)?
