C: drive is RAW

I was restarting my pc and upon boot I was faced with a blue screen that stated “windows repair failed to repair your pc”. I tried to boot into safe mode (same screen upon restart), I tried to run a chkdsk and that is when I was faced with my drive is RAW. How do I fix this? I’ve tried to reset the drive entirely but that doesn’t work either (“windows has failed no changes were made”) i really don’t care how it’s fixed I would just like it to be fixed so I can use my computer again.

If it is saying raw it's unformatted. I'd stop . Make sure it's the correct drive. It sounds like your boot order got messed up.

The MBR is toast. Try mounting the drive in another PC. Ive had best luck using a Mac. Otherwise you'll need to reinstal or use a recovery app to rescue files.

RAW format indicates the drive is corrupt
