    The drive shows in the BIOS, but when I select it as the boot device, the BIOS throws an error, telling me to insert the boot media or select another device.
    Well if you have any recovery media you could try using that. You could also try one of the built in features in Windows... Troubleshoot Windows 10 failure to boot using Recovery Environment

    I didn't have recovery media, but now that I have my system back, I created it. I used my backup/restore application to restore my entire drive. Without a restore or boot media, I had no way to access troubleshooting options.

    I still want to enable BitLocker, but I'm seriously concerned about a repeat of this experience, and I have no idea how to figure out what the problem was or how to avoid a repeat.

    I've no idea as to why your PC acted the way it did, but as posted I did the same procedure and had no issue.
