thanks for the link but I’m aware of what needs to be done but The system won’t unmount in disk utility to allow me to continue with wiping iMac clean. The work around is supposed to be going into terminal and manually unmount of which it won’t do as well.
trying to troubleshoot this issue.

Just so we're all on the same page by "getting rid of" do you mean sell or recycle? If recycle don't worry about installing the system.
I'm sorry, your entry is not clear. Are you trying to install that Mac's original operating system? If so, I believe that on those older models you will need to have an installation disk.
I’m trying to wipe it clean to get rid of it.
