Volume erased and no recovery options available. Any idea how to install Monterey after hard drive partitioned?

Partition or not, this is what you do.

You have to have a working Mac to make the flash drive: How to create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support

The article also includes OS installation.

Having given no details on your Mac, this is just a guess that it's modern enough for this to be applicable.

Thanks for your comment.

Reported issue was resolved by using local ethernet instead of Wi-Fi and it recovered to Catalina then upgraded to Monterey (I gave up the trial version of Ventura) since it was blocking the Wi-Fi for no reason.
