So my linux experience started off by abandoning windows for a week and trying ubuntu 17.04.

then i wanted to switch back to windows so i downloaded an iso file to put it on my flash drive using etcher and when i tried to boot the flash drive it always booted ubuntu instead.

so idiot me had the idea of deleting the ubuntu partition so i did that and then rebooted and im stuck in grub rescue it says:

error: file'/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found.
entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

Have you set your flash drive to be the first boot drive?

To do that you have to insert your flash drive (it is USB, right?), reboot the computer, during the boot press Del, F2, F12 or something else (depends on model of your computer) to get to BIOS (or UEFI) menu. Then find boot options and move your USB drive before your hard drive, then choose "Save settings and exit".
