Rickkkk: the max file here is 256.0KB and my is over 800KB so how can I upload the pictures
Looks like grub did not get installed to the MBR.
I say that because in the photo's it shows the grub> prompt which is basically grub rescue.
***Your best bet is to perform a fresh installation of Fedora by booting up the live CD.***
If you want to keep Windows (dual boot with Fedora) you will have to shrink your Windows partition first in order to make room for your Fedora installation. That is if Windows is still installed:-?
If your Lenovo is a UEFI machine you need to disable the secure boot and quick boot in the BIOS and than set the machine to boot to the CDROM drive first instead of the HDD.

I attach. new picture and what can yo tell mePlease
So could you please let me know,can I use my burnd fedora 25 DVD boot up?
Yes you can use your burned Fedora 25 DVD to boot up.
To do that you will have to go into the BIOS in the 'boot' section and set the machine to boot to CD/DVD. Save the changes and reboot. The Fedora DVD should boot up.

You're correct. Legacy is the correct choice.
Place the Fedora DVD in the drive, restart your machine and Fedora should boot up for you as a Live user.

papasita / ztcoracat ... just catching up on the recent posts. My understanding and questions at this point:
1) None of the commands were working because, as the pictures show, linux had, in fact, never booted. Papasita was stuck at a GRUB rescue prompt
2) Papasita's objective was to return the computer to Windows-only usage. Is this still the case ?
3) If the above answer is "yes", would it not be simpler to boot a live ISO of Boot-Repair, confirm the presence of a Windows installation using that, and restore boot functionality to Windows as well with Boot-Repair ? My objective in suggesting this is to save the time and minimize the risks involved with a full reinstallation of Fedora just to return the machine to 100% Windows usage ...

... my 2 cents ...
1 yes none of the command were working
2 yes
3 yes
Where can I get the live ISO of Boot-Repair and can I use to burn on SanDisk SD HC for USB?
