  1. If you use hfs+ you'll need to convert to APFS first before upgrading to Catalina.
  2. If that option ("convert to APFS") is greyed out, Mojave was not properly installed and you'll need to completely reformat that drive first. These 'containerdiscs, efi, images, etc. have created confusion with partitioning/formatting and it's very easy to get it wrong. The result is: Missing or corrupt recoverypartitions/efi/containerdiscs, search my Mac, etcetera.
  3. If Catalina can't be installed on a APFS-drive: Same as 2. ,you'll need to completely reformat that drive first.
