No disk showing when reinstalling Catalina
Hi experts,
Hoping you can help with a re-install
My iMac (late 2013 model) had an issue about 1 week ago and I forced shut-down. It only rebooted in recovery mode, so I opted to restart from a Time Capsule image (on external Airport Extreme). After letting the back-up image load overnight, I only managed a glimpse of the login screen before the iMac shut itself down.
Since then I have only be able to reboot in recovery mode and the Mac will not enable access to the Airport to load a different image.
Now I have been trying a complete erase and reinstall of OSX. However, there are no disks showing when choose this option from the recovery screen (below).
I have seen some other users experience the same issue and recommend a re-partition in Disk Utility, so that the HDD is recognized. However I only see 1x drive of 4GB, and 1x disk image of 2GB. Also, I am unable to erase or re partition either of them (either option is greyed out or the operation fails., see below).
Other potentially relevant information is that I had a Windows bootcamp partition but have been unable to load this at the start screen.
Appreciate any help with this issue.
iMac 27″, macOS 10.15
