Windows 10: active primary disk

Hello, So i was trying to create a recovery drive on my SSd card, because my 2 usb 's are used for a mouse and history file. Turning on my history file it had a message saying "You're not to have a system file on a removable drive." I went into disk management I seen my ssd card has primary , healthy and has active next to it.. like this:


Disk 0 = EFI Healthy -100 MB / Local (C: ) 25.24 GB NTFS (Boot , wim Boot, crash dump, primary partition ) New Volume (E: ) 2.57 GB NTFS Primary Partition / Recovery 1000 MB Healthy ( OEM partition......


Disk 1 = FAT 32 (7.42 GB) Healthy ( Primary Partition Active)


Disk 2- FAT 32 (14.72 GB) USB DISK Healthy ( Primary Partition)


I don't think this is at all correct.. I don't know how to make DISK 0 active again I think that is the one that should be active. The instructions were to make the SSD card act and be recognized as a USB device.. I lost 2 computers even after making a recovery disk, apparently i still don't know how.. Can you help and tell me how make Active the Drive that should be ACTIVE... Cannot tell you how much I appreciate for all your time & patience,,,
