Hello friends,
Linux user for a few years, with some basic knowledge only, here.
I have an older Lenovo 100S-14IBR which originally came with a slimmed-down version of Windows. After a year or two, Windows actually became too big for it, so I decided to try Linux. I was unable to install anything, but somehow it would allow Ubuntu to install and run on for the past few years. I believe there was some form of "protection" inside of this laptop to keep people from easily installing anything but Windows.
I recently decided to change to Linux Lite because Ubuntu was becoming too slow. As I feared, I have been unable to install anything back on. Not even Ubuntu, after Linux Lite seemed not to take. In the process, I messed-up GRUB pretty bad. I believe I fixed GRUB, but I now have multiple failed remnants of install attempts of various things that show up in my boot list. Nothing on the list will boot. I have used DiskPart to wipe the drive clean, and reinstalled Linux Lite, but it will not boot. (I do not need to save anything on this computer, and will be happy to start fresh).
Following some previous Forum threads, I have created a pastbin upload, which resides at: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VzbbjCm6n4/
Can anyone help me with how to get this fresh install of Linux Lite running? I have messed with every setting in BIOS that I can think of to try to emulate what allowed me to shoehorn Ubuntu onto this machine a few years ago.
Thoughts and help much appreciated!
