Fresh Installs Booting Only to Grub Page
verbose <off> Note1: Wasn't sure until just now my previous post went out okay, wrote this as a second attempt. I'll post it anyway because it's more concise and contains slightly different info that may be helpful. Note2: (New to posting in forums, my mistake.) Posted this in the wrong place, should've put it here as a new thread, so here it is.

So here is the short and sour if it. Two HDs and one flash drive, all recently in ok condition, are no longer so. Installers verified, drives properly partitioned according to each OS. Both installs working and then as above, after 3 0r 5 boots and being swapped around a bit between 2 older but known good machines, an hp laptop and a levono laptop; along with the usual updates, downloads, and preferred program installations. I also ran the installer on its own a few times, and it also now boots only to the same grub page: "GNU GRUB version 2.12-9+deb13u2 Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or 44file completions. To enable less (1)-like paging, "Set-pager=1" grub>."
I think that my repeated cycles of installation and crude and incorrect removal attempts have caused problems in these and other drives. A 32gb microSD card that recently went into "invisible mode" was last seen giving the libparted error, "end of file while reading /dev/sda" (mmcblk0). Another now common error is "The backup partition table is corrupt. The primary table appears okay, so that will be used".44444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444
