My mac will not boot. When it tries to, I get the display that exhibits ‘help.apple.com/mac/startup’ with the circle with a line thought it. Mainly, I messed the whole lot up as a result of I used to be dualbooting linux and I eliminated the linux partition. There have been errors in disk utility once I eliminated the partition, and I did not handle to repair it totally earlier than rebooting and now I am unable to boot to my mac.
I’m attempting to reinstall macOS from web restoration. When I attempt to set up Catalina (earlier than I used to be utilizing Large Sur) there are not any accessible drives to pick out to put in it on. It exhibits ‘Bootcamp’ however says it is locked. Clearly I would not set up it there anyway. It would not present any Mac drive.
In disk utility there are two issues I believe are unsuitable once I use ‘Present All Gadgets’. I’ve a fusion drive so I’ve a 28GB SSD drive, and in addition a 1TB SATA drive. The SSD has one ‘youngster’ (will we name them youngsters?), disk0s2, nevertheless it’s not mounted. This SSD is the place macOS is generally put in, is that right?
The second unusual factor is that my HDD top-level exhibits two partitions: disk1s2 – 842.95GB, and BOOTCAMP – 121.99GB. However solely BOOTCAMP exhibits up as a baby. The disk1s2, that’s, my most important Mac storage drive, simply is not there.
All that is higher demonstrated by these pictures.
I’ve run ‘first support’ on all of the accessible partitions they usually all stated they have been okay. However then once more, it is solely let’s me run it on those which might be okay, and even present up within the first place.
Ideally, I do not wish to lose my Bootcamp partition, but when I’ve to, it is going to be positive. I am just a bit confused which I must erase or if there’s something I must do or restore first.
I’ve discovered movies on YouTube of individuals erasing the disk to reinstall macOS, however I am unable to discover anybody doing it with a fusion drive.

Any assist with this could be superb!
