Thing is I’m able to see the disks at the side bar (disk utility menu), and they aren’t showing any issues once “first aid” is ran, however, when I try to reinstall Catalina (Reinstall macOS menu) it sending me the error “downloading installer information to the target volumen failed”. I have been struggling with this problem for a while, hopefully you can help me on this.

    Help needed. After power outage I have the flashing folder, I started in recovery mode and found the HDD has been corrupted and shows as unformatted. I tried to use Terminal to download “Testdisk” but it didn’t work.
    Can I create a USB or CD boot volume with testdisk on it or some other software to recover my patitions. Thanks👍

      No, no help. The disk utility does not show disk when selected, so I can’t run any repair. I don’t work on mac, only Windows PC’s. So a little out of my depth.
      The mac shows the Seagate 1TB drive in recovery mode at the top left, details show that SMART has failed and the disk is unformatted, and I think this is the reason it doesn’t display when select. I want to recover files I have on it, then replace it. Thanks

    Thank you so much for the easy to follow video; I was able to reset one of the iMacs that will be up for sale; it didn't work for my other iMac, which I intend to sell as well; that one won't go to disk utility, but straight to Internet Recovery and after about 15 minutes it only shows the infamous exclamation point for Apple Support 'with code "-21 06F"; it seems the hard drive has been completely erased, including the start up; it does have a hard drive but the Mac won't see it; is there anything I can do, besides replacing the hard drive?
