Rowan, at this point I would - *if my machine* - see if I could boot a

the main offender and try your options from there. I speak without
having experience of your particular problem - but I speak from
instinct - so treat this advice as an option but please seek
confirmation from others.
You mean, turn it into a 'naked computer', without any resident
operating system at all. But the BIOS firmware is designed by Microsoft
to prevent undesired operating system software from being loaded, and
that would still be there, in ROM.
