Let me know what Lenovo say’s. I’m curious.

Likely not relevant I think
BIOS/Firmware update
Lenovo provides updates for firmware and BIOS updates for some of their devices via fwupd, supported devices can be found by searching on the fwupd website
To update other devices which Lenovo only provides Windows installers, you can manually download the firmware from Lenovo support website and install it by following the instructions in Flashing BIOS from Linux#Lenovo
Edit: I don’t see ideapads on the list.
First part already checked.
Second just leads to the previous article about using inno install if you remember that far back

Went threw the motions of flashing my bios and took pictures as I was doing it.
Now my Lenvov is NOT the same model as yours. This is just an live example from mine.
That’s exactly how it should work. I’m at a loss as to what the issue is.
I don’t think there is anything more we need to check from the boot menu, since it doesn’t have this option and the other stuff don’t seem relevant. I’m booting back in now
Technical difficulties - boot no longer detects the usb. I really hope this is as simple as unplugging and then replugging. It has been there for awhile, maybe it has just got a bit too warm
Marvellous. Just absolutely amazing. My laptop really isn’t picking up on the usb anymore
Not even the linux file system is picking up on it in /run/media
Maybe this is a good sign to give up for today
This is very weird. It isn’t in /run/media, nor is it in /dev/sda (sda doesn’t appear). But lsblk picks up on it, and doing badblocks -w -s -o error.log /dev/sda works, even though I can’t find sda wjen I check the structure. No idea what that all means with respect to the state of my usb. I really hope it hasn’t become completely unusable, this is the only one I have on me that is big enough to hold hirens
Microsoft’s way of getting back at you. 
I know it’s not funny when stuff like this happens for no reason.

Thanks for putting up with all of this and giving me so much of your time btw. This has been such a huge mess lol
It happens …trust me I’ve seen it all. Is it just the usb that’s causing the problem? The computer is still booting into EOS no problem?

Yup. All working normally. Watching a YouTube video while seeing if badblocks returns any bad signs. At 30% done and have a clean 0/0/0 so far
What are you running that on the usb drive? Not sure what you used to flash the ISO onto it. But you could just reflash another ISO on it like EOS for instance. I use popsicle on EOS to flash the usb drive. It’s in the AUR.
I’m an idiot. I’ve just blindly looked up how to see if a usb is in bad condition, found badblocks -w -s -o error.log /dev/sda and started running it and I’ve only now checked what it is doing and found -w gets rid of the content! Great, now I have to install Hirens again
That was the usb I was running Hirens on
That’s what i thought? How did you flash Hirens boot onto it?
