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) and tried to restart, but the laptop froze before Windows loaded. I did some diagnostic stuff using a recovery drive and it became apparent that something had happened to C (it was showing as a Raw drive named D). I reassigned the drive letters back to the correct ones but I can't find any way of indicating that the drive is not raw. The partitions are all there according to DISKPART (Recovery 300mb, System 100mb, Reserved 128mb, Primary 237gb, Recovery 663mb), and the System partition is still formatted, as when I list the volumes, I get a FAT32 with 100MB, but everything else is raw. Much of the drive is Bitlocker encrypted. I know there are 3rd party tools that claim to be able to recover things, but I am wary that it will render the drive inoperable, even if it will get my data back. I have most of my data backed up, I just want a functioning OS that has all of my applications.
Windows 10 unable to troubleshoot
Hello, I have an Asus laptop running Windows 10 and occasionally, it would lag (even offline while I am going through images like cropping a photo or clicking through document files- it would take 3 seconds for the action to occur)Apart from that, the start up would take tremendously long time. But since last week, I couldn't get past the black and/ blue screens after powering my laptop on ... I've already tried some, not all the troubleshooting available in the Advanced Options because even the loading alone doesn't always allow me to the next step as it shuts down instead. So I am tired of repeating the same cycle over and over again. I'll just briefly list the ones I WAS able to try and the messages I got from them for reference: Automatic Repair----- Automatic Repair couldnt repair your PC... c windows system32 logfiles srt srttrail.txt Uninstall Updates--- Not sure if it did anything because it didnt display another page Reset this PC: Keep Files.... tried both Cloud download and Local download and it both said "unable to download" Command prompt : I tried the 'recoveryenabled no' and 'safeboot minimal' Now I downloaded Media Creation Tool from a working computer in a USB but I cant even get to the blue screen. Is this how I can get it back? Or are there other options? I also wanted to make sure if I do this, will it get rid of personal files? If not, how do I make sure that I retain my files because I dont have a back up of all of them.
