Endless Reboot Solved - Windows 10 Forums

If you boot from a Windows boot medium, you should be able to access those options by clicking Repair your Computer and navigating thru the prompts.

Sure, as long as you don't need anything from that spare drive, there's no reason why you can't put it to work to run recovery, then reformat and start over again once the recovery is complete. I have a couple of mSATA SSDs that I keep in Sabrent enclosures for this kind of thing, and that works very well (much faster than a USB flash drive, too)
