Disabled Secure Boot, Stuck in Grub Rescue

I had deleted Kali Linux about a year ago and kept getting a Secure Boot Violation which I eventually ignored since I was able to reach Windows anyways. Fast forward and I've done a clean install in hopes of addressing some bad blocks in my HDD. My 100% disk usage was "fixed" (at least for a day until Windows Update and superfetch went haywire).

As a genius I decided to turn off the Secure Boot option in the BIOS menu since I was sure this might help me somehow.... Now im stuck in the grub rescue screen.

I did some googling and read about booting with CD/DVD/USB but im currently unable to make one where I am. I do have the flash drive I used to do the clean install for Windows 10 but the grub rescue says no media found. Is there anyway of just going back and magically enabling Secure Boot again and go about my way or am I SOL?

Few things you might want to know: The Kali Linux partition is no more. Back in the day I had to do the ls/set prefix/insmod etc.but that no longer works (probably because the Kali partition was cleared). The only computer I might have access to is a PS4.

Bonus Question: What would be the fastest/reliable way of marking bad blocks? I tried chkdsk but it lasted half a day and it didn't do much of anything but then again I might've botched it up somehow.

Thank you for reading.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
