You have a laptop that was previously encrypted with LVM. Since you can't recall the encryption password, you're considering reformatting the disk. However, it appears the system is using GRUB rescue, which might be preventing access. There might be ways to bypass this without needing the data, but I recommend consulting a professional or using recovery tools designed for such scenarios.

No, you should not delete all partitions during OS installation.

It doesn't start up to an installer even when selecting the USB drive in BIOS. It continues to display the same screen. Right now, I'm working to overwrite every bit on the disk, which should take roughly two hours.
