macOS Sequoia is now available
HELP!!!! I was erasing the disk on my iMac (late 2013) to reinstall the OS and give to my son but I accidentally erased the VOLUME GROUP! Now there's no where to install the OX. Is there a way to fix this?!
iMac, OS X 10.10
Thanks!
and if anyone else does this....the store did exactly what I though I needed to do but was to chicken to do for fear I was wrong. They erased the disk and repartitioned it then loaded the OS X.

Yes but won’t let me do that. Can’t remember the message it gives me and I’m not in front of my computer but I’m sure it has to do with the fact there’s no volume group (Macintosh HD) to restore it to. Further....when I try to reinstall the OS X it doesn’t show anything on the list to choose to download it to.
When you turn it on immediately hold down Command + R (you may need a USB keyboard) and restore from Time Machine then. If you cannot do that then your next step is to take it and the Time Machine External Hard Disk to your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to be serviced. That is logical as you are getting no-where trying to do this yourself.
This is what I’m seeing
Can you get an OSX Installer on an external Drive?
I have an external drive. How/where do I get an OSX installer to download on it?
In Disk Utilities View Menu, did you select Show all Devices?
For some reason it doesn’t have a view tab as an option.
What you need to do is to restore from your Time Machine backup, do you know how to do this??
Yup. Tried that. Headed to the Apple Store now! Thanks!
OK, good luck, I'm sure they can handle it.
Great, thanks for the report, & good luck! :)
HELP!!!! Accidentally erased the VOLUME GROUP instead of volume data!
