Formatted laptop problems with booting external Ubuntu environment - Aptio Setup Utility issue

So background is that I stupidly formatted my laptop's harddrive instead of my external one and now I seem to have wiped it completely, OS and all. So when turning it on I get sent to the Aptio Setup Utility with no options to boot.

I've made a Ubuntu environment on my external harddrive and tested it on another laptop. Works all good.

However plugging it to formatted laptop it won't show up on the boot.

I have looked for solutions but the only things I seem to be able to do are disable secure and fast boot.

Tried things: There is no option to launch CSM in my BIOS Also nothing about legacy The Intel Rapid Storage Technology formset in Advanced shows no disks connected. In trying to add a new boot option I can click Path for Boot Option and Select Storage Device with my External HD as an option. However selecting it does nothing. I'm lost with the explanation to enter the path to the boot option in format FSX:\path\filename.efi

My intended plan is to boot up my external HD Ubuntu and see if I can run data Recovery on the internal HD to recover what I formatted but I'm stuck at the point of trying to boot anything. There are no options in the Boot Option Priorities. The Add New Boot Option only appears when my external HD is connected but not sure how to add that as an option.

Please help

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
