Hello,
I had my laptop open (Dell XPS 9550) and wasn't using it. I noticed the screen changed so I looked over and it had a BSOD. Since that happened, I've been unable to boot it up. I've tried running chkdsk /f c:, but it now says "The type of the file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives."
I've tried running Startup Repair ("Startup Repair couldn't repair your PC") and "Go back to the previous build" ("We ran into a problem and won't be able to take you back to the previous build. Try resetting your current build instead (Troubleshoot > Reset this PC)"but that option doesn't exist for me).
There are some files that I really don't want deleted. If this problem isn't fixable, I would at least like to recover them if possible.
Can anybody give me any further steps to try?
Thank you
I would try MiniTool Data Recovery :
What was the BSOD code? Can you remember it and let us know?

Unless I did something else wrong, when booting into the USB and selecting the tool, I get the message "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system"The one that I received when the problem initially happened was DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. I've also got UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME and INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE when trying to boot since then, though.What was the BSOD code? Can you remember it and let us know?

Long story shortening, if your disk is not failing, then a clean install will be the easiest way to deal with this issue.
For backing up the data, follow post #2 above.

Thank you. I'll clean install once I know whether or not any of my files are recoverable.You may have a brief explanation here: Troubleshooting stop 0x7B and stop 0xED

I got the MiniTool software working, but it doesn't detect my SSD. Are there any other solutions for recovering?
Also, if it's any help/indication of anything, running diskpart then list volume from cmd shows the SSD (475 GB) as Status: Healthy, just the file system is raw.
You need a Bootable OS. Try Windows 10 Recovery Tools, it works good. You will need another computer to download it and make a bootable USB suing it.

It sounds bad.Also, if it's any help/indication of anything, running diskpart then list volume from cmd shows the SSD (475 GB) as Status: Healthy, just the file system is raw.
Please forget my last post. Use PW Bootable CD, try a Partition Recovery.
