#Macos catalina install no disk mac#

I am using a 2019 iMac which was running macOS 11.6.1. My output for diskutil list is: -bash-3.2# diskutil listĢ: FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF 843.0 GB disk1s2ģ: Microsoft Basic Data BOOTCAMP 122.0 GB disk1s3ġ: Apple_HFS macOS Base System 2.0 GB disk2s1 I have found videos on YouTube of people erasing the disk to reinstall macOS, but I can't find anyone doing it with a fusion drive. I'm just a little confused which I need to erase or if there's anything I need to do or repair first. Ideally, I don't want to lose my Bootcamp partition, but if I have to, it will be fine. But then again, it's only let's me run it on the ones that are OK, or even show up in the first place. I have run 'First Aid' on all the available partitions and they all said they were OK.

The disk1s2 slice, that is my main Mac storage drive, just isn't there.Īll this is better demonstrated by these photos. The second strange thing is that my HDD top-level shows two partitions: disk1s2 - 842.95 GB, and BOOTCAMP - 121.99 GB. This SSD is where macOS is normally installed, is that correct? The SSD has one 'child' (do we call them children?), disk0s2, but it's not mounted. I have a fusion drive so I have a 28 GB SSD drive, and also a 1 TB SATA HDD. In Disk Utility there are two things I think are wrong when I use 'Show All Devices'.

Obviously, I wouldn't install it there anyway. It shows 'Bootcamp' but says it's locked.

When I try to install Catalina (before I was using Big Sur) there are no available drives to select to install it on. I am trying to reinstall macOS from Internet Recovery. There were errors in Disk Utility when I removed the partition, and I didn't manage to fix it fully before rebooting and now I can't boot to my Mac. Basically, I messed everything up because I was dual booting

When it tries to, I get the screen that shows '/mac/startup' with the circle with a line thought it. Is it safe to remove the Linux partition at this point?', where I now have removed the Linux partition. This is continuation from my previous question ' I installed Xubuntu without installing rEFind.
