[QUOTE="ray5450, post: 1896003, member: 409464"] Thanks, for your response. Stage 1: Regarding mounting the drive, mount is greyed out, so I would guess it already is mounted. Stage 2: Regarding Install MacOS, this results in "The recovery server could not be contacted", ...and yes, wifi is on and connected. That is why I downloaded the installer (external drive), which looks like it is going to work, but again, it is looking for a place to install. Stage 3: After selecting the internal disk, I find no option on the page toolbar that says, "Format". Stage 4 is not applicable because in my case, Stage 3 did not use APFS. [/QUOTE]
