I made a very little mod to my bios with Phoenix bios editor, then I forced the update.
Now my laptop doesn't boot at all, it seems unrecoverable

Some BIOS contain Emergency BIOS. Download BIOS from the laptop manufacturer's website. Extract it and look for a folder named Emergency or something like that. If there is such a folder then you may be lucky. In the folder, there should be BIOS and Readme file with instructions to install the Emergency BIOS.

Thanks, unfortunately my bios doesn't have emergency bios.
Anyway, no matter. I'm happy now

Emergency BIOS or Crisis Recovery is the same thing. It's not there in your BIOS package.

Hey! I’ve run into similar errors before where the drive just refuses to format properly, and using the command line is usually the only way to actually get it sorted. It's much more reliable than the standard disk management tool when things get stubborn.
