Hi colin20,
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today reinstalling macOS. As I understand, you are receiving the message "the target volume is part of an incomplete system and cannot be installed to".
Did you erase the hard drive in recovery? Check out: How to erase a disk for Mac. You may have only erased a volume which could have triggered this message.
Also see the various ways to reinstall macOS here: How to reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery.
Have a fantastic day!
