erased my imac drive now it wont let me do a fresh install of OS Sierra in recovery mode. it loads everything fully then when it goes to actually install at 100% i get an error message that the install can’t be completed and I should retry. I’ve done all the first aid steps etc etc. I don’t have an extra mac device and it can’t make a boot drive on my windows pc to use on my ac.
iMac (2017 – 2020)
If you need a bootable flash drive, unfortunately, you'll need to find someone with a Mac to make your the drive. Create a bootable installer for macOS – Apple Support (UK)
There are some situations when you must use the bootable flash drive; sounds to me you're there.
**** it 😂 that’s kinda what I figured thru trial and error. I might have to just buy a ****** cheap old MacBook and use it just for that.
You're call, but making a bootable flash drive and installing the OS is not a real chore at all.
It's good to have couple of them laying around anyway just for situations like you have.
erased iMac won’t reinstall
