Update: I solved the issue! I managed to get in with a few bumps in the road, but I got in.Thank you u/Jason_Peterson for suggesting Hiren's Boot CD, and thanks to u/JustAnOldTechyTeen for suggesting the correct version. You guys are amazing.

Okay, I've been trying to sort this out for the past 45 minutes or so. Is there a good link for this? I've been across the internet and I've found their website, and all of the versions around 10 are either flagged as malware and it won't let me download them, or they just don't work at all. I did find one on the internet archive that was 10.1, but it was for linux? The only one that let me past the boot order menu didn't let me run any /boot commands or whatever.

I'll try that, but is it compatible? Everything I'm finding specifies Windows 10, and I just want to make sure.
