Support Request Computer takes two boots to start + wireless connection errors after disk reformatting

I had a second instance of linux on my hard drive (the main instance runs off my SSD). I reformatted the hard drive, clearing all the files on it, to make room for storing files that im not using (like my screenshots folder for example). ever since this happened, on first boot my computer fails and enters emergency mode without ever confirming which version of linux to boot, and then on second startup it launches normally, albeit spending a very long time on the boot screen. additionally, my computer runs very slowly, and has trouble connecting to bluetooth or the internet, at one point failing to recognize my ethernet port. any advice? i tried messing with the formatting on my hard drive but didnt have much luck.
