How to completely reset the laptop to factory settings?

Hello.
In general, many days have passed, no one has helped with the problem of installing the OS. The problem is that when installing Kali or BlackArch (I only have two flash drives and one connector on my computer, there are no other OSes), they are stupidly not added to the bootloader at the end. BlackArch is simply not added, that is, for example, I installed it, did everything right, rebooted and throws it into the BIOS. And with Kali, at the stage "Installing the GRUB bootloader", it knocks out the error "Failed to execute the grub-install dummy command". Tried looking for info. I searched for a long time, then I reconciled myself and stupidly began to sit in LIVE and not turn off the laptop, but send it to sleep. But he didn’t live for a long time, when installing some kind of script or updating the repository, everything freezes, after a reboot everything goes astray and you have to reconfigure everything and log in to your accounts. utter torment, so there is no solution anywhere. There was an idea - is it possible somehow WITHOUT OS to bring down the laptop completely to zero settings? That is, what would the hard drive become like a normal one without settings, the BIOS is normal, and so on? What would it be like I just bought a laptop without an OS? Is it possible to do something like that?
Added:
Laptop: ASUS
RAM: 4
BOIS: Uefi but for some reason you can't turn it off, and when you enter the BIOS it just writes ASUS Bios, that is, it doesn't write UEFI, and when I turn on the flash drive with the bootloader, it writes UEFI Flash USb.... Also BIOS - 306 version

Get out of the house. Walk around the yards, look somewhere there should be an ad for Andrey's computer master.
Call him and he will do everything like a neighbor.

On a normal forum for such a statement of the question, you would be banned or the topic deleted. Nowhere is it written which laptop (manufacturer, model), what boot settings in the BIOS (EFI, Legacy, etc.).
Specifically, on your question - put a NEW disk (if you ask questions, how to erase or reset at least mbr / gpt), reset the BIOS directly from its menu to the default values.
How to install a specific Linux distribution - read on the site of this distribution and its forum. Well, either ask on the profile ones (I won’t tell you where it’s better, I didn’t ask), or just in the IRC channel, more or less live on the topic.

reset the bios settings with the appropriate item (which one depends on the bios), reset the zero sector of the hard disk using victoria (or use gparted to delete all partitions and, if necessary, change the partition table type to the one you need).
