I don't know what the problem is exactly. The other day I turned my PC on running linux lite and the resolution was all wrong on one of my monitors. So I rebooted it through a button I have on my panel, but it wouldn't boot, just showed a flashing white cursor in the top left corner.
I made a bootable usb and booted into it, but my monitor says that it's the wrong resolution and can't display it. So I went to a tty terminal (which worked) and copied all my files to a USB stick, so all my files are fine.
I tried installing bunsenlab just for a change, but that got stuck at "checking network hardware" (or something similar).
That got rid of my original os, so now there's no os installed, but I can't install another. I think it must be a problem with my HDD, and have tried formatting it, but I'm still stuck.
Is there a way to just completely wipe/reset the HDD to install a fresh os on it? I couldn't find anything online that did what I want.
Thanks in advance.

I tried installing linux-lite-6.2-64bit.iso
but that didn't work - just went black. The live had the same problem as stated above.
All the installation media was made from .iso files downloaded from the official sites and burnt to a usb stick using the build-in raspberry pi imager.
The image of bunsenlab I tried was beryllium-1-amd64.hybrid.iso
I'm booting by pressing F8 and selecting my usb from the menu of drives. Quick boot is disabled.
I have made a Linux Lite media and booted, but I can't get it to output in the correct resolution for my monitor. The tty terminals work fine, but when I go back to the graphics (idk what it's called) it says it's displaying an unsupported resolution no matter what monitor I use.
Also, legacy usb support is off. There is no other option to do with legacy in the boot section of BIOS. I managed to install LL months ago, it just stopped working yesterday.
I get these messages when shutting down live session from tty terminal
I disconnected the HDD, and it boots into the live session without a problem. So it appears that the HDD is the problem.
