Single user mode reveals that the above is the problem. How do I get to the screen that shows the two hard drive icons, where one is for
repair. Presently, i can only get to the one hard drive icon. Or is there an even better solution? Thanks!

Hello,

I you have started up holding the Option key and get the Startup Manager with only Macintosh HD, then you may have a newer version of OS X/macOS that changed the way you access the Recovery Partition.

Try the steps in the lonk above to see if you can access it and let us know.
