Or boot from the Recovery partition?

Not familiar with DriveDX, but, it appears that the machine booted and the 3rd party tool is showing a "RAW" partition, guessing you do have a partition, just that it might be CoreStorage (aka FileVault)? Run "diskutil list" from a Terminal window, will see "Apple_CoreStorage" on the large partition. This is assuming you are running something older than High Sierra.

To verify and repair the internal drive, will need to go into Recovery or boot off USB installer, and then Disk Utility from there.

I tried cmd+R (recovery) and single user as well (fsck -fy)
[doublepost=1532471844][/doublepost]im running the os (10.9.5,i think maveric)
and here is the result of diskutil list:

I see. Can you create a partition? Are you setting Disk Utility to display all devices?
once i tried to go to partition and try but it took me 1 hour and did nothing
When i booted on bootable usb,i tried to repair and verify,DU didnt repair cuz driver dosent have any problem
and here is screenshot of my DU:
