Okay I got into my BIOS now , but it only recognises a 24gb EXT4 partition on my 250ssd. I think I'm going to have to reinstall windows to fix this right? Linux doesn't recognise the rest of my SSD?

Do you see the rest as unallocated space? Then you can resize your partition to fill the whole disk
There's plenty to question here, like what kind of partitions are supposedly on that disk? GPT? MBR? What are you trying to detect them with? Is BitLocker in play, in your BIOS? Is UEFI enabled?
Some of this stuff that seemed pretty easy and basic 10-15 years ago has gotten pretty confusing, and older tools may not be compatible with the newer options.
I was using Windows on the machine before all this started happening , so I think , the rest of the partition is either unallocated memory or whatever kind of partition windows uses for its thing.
I dont know much about BIOS , but you are asking is it grub or a master boot record right? I haven't a clue to be honest, I've been doing some retard-grade tinkering with different operating systems , and I think it's moved between grub and a master boot record . I don't know , maybe you could instruct me on that ?
I don't know what Bitlocker is , but if I was to hazard a guess , I would say that it is not in play .
UEFI is enabled .
