This is a new, blank hard drive, with nothing on it, not even grub.
Here is a tedious approach but seems the only way forward since having
the device plugged in on boot leaves you unable to get to the BIOS.
At that point you might want to consider handing your laptop's drive to
the vendor and paying to have a recent fedora installed onto it.
The hardware tech who installed the new drive got it to boot from a
LiveUSB; I don't know what distro, and I can't find out until Thursday
evening, as that's the next time he'll be available. I don't know if
you're just coming into the discussion, or have forgotten everything
that's gone on until this post, but everything you've suggested has
either already been tried, or would be pointless to try. Please check
the archives and read up on the thread before trying again, because it's
clear that you want to help, but are simply way behind on what's going
on here.
