Unhappy Grub install dummy failed


Hello guys i tried to install fedora but grub installation failed, now i can’t install any linux distribution
i get the grub rescue menu i tried everything in it i went to (hd0,msdos6)/boot/grub/
but i can’t find the i386-pc/normal.mod
set prefix=(hd0,mdos6)/boot/grub
set root=(hd0,mdos6)
insmod normal
"i get an error here"
normal
now i can’t boot to my windows and i can’t install any linux distribution
because some of them install the grub, and some of them don’t install the grub at all but nothing works
and im sitting with a laptop that doesn’t boot at all grub was working fine with deepin but everything got messed up after installing linux mint.

Which version of windows are you using?
Is your windows installation an EFI install?
Did you install your Linux systems EFI or Legacy? The commands you posted would indicate that you are using Legacy with Fedora.

Were you able to boot into whichever windows release you had previously? If so, what exactly happens now when you try to boot it?
