So. I used to have Windows on my Xiaomi Notebook Air 13, then I had to install Ubuntu on it as dual-boot 3 years ago. Last two years I haven't been using the laptop and now decided to uninstall Windows and Ubuntu and install EndeavourOS. But I've made some mistakes.
From Ubuntu I used "Uninstall" tool to uninstall Windows. It froze in the process. Then I tried to reboot, but I couldn't - grub was corrupted somehow and nothing helped. So I was like okay. Then I'll boot to Windows.
It worked fine. I reformatted the disk part that I used for Ubuntu and the option "Ubuntu" disappeared from the BIOS. Then I tried to install Endeavour: I downloaded the ISO, burnt it to the flash drive, chose in BIOS "Disable secure boot" and made this USB my first priority. But it stacked at "Triggering uevents". Nothing from the Internet helped.
Again, I was like okay, I'll try Ubuntu again since I was able to install it 3 years ago on my laptop. It didn't work, stacked after "SGX disabled by BIOS". At some point I've noticed that I don't have my Windows anymore, so now I can't boot at all.
Since then, I've tried different flash drives, different ways to make a LiveCD (dd on my Mac, Rufus on the Windows, Ventoy, Etcher), different Linux distributives, I've even tried another SSD! This SSD has Zorin and Windows but neither of them boot correctly (Zorin stacks at login screen, Windows has blue screen).
I'm just... So so lost. I don't even understand why this is happening, what can cause this problem. Maybe you have any ideas?
