The installation failed and indicated I needed to restart the iMac. When I restart, the same message is displayed. Thus, I appear to be stuck in a loop possibly without a valid or bootable OS. I was able to enter Disk Utility mode. I am not familiar with the Mac OS or utilities. I ran First Aid on Macintosh HD with the following results. Mac OS 9 is the ninth and last major release of Apple's classic Mac OS operating system.Introduced on October 23, 1999, it was promoted by Apple as 'The Best Internet Operating System Ever', highlighting Sherlock 2's Internet search capabilities, integration with Apple's free online services known as iTools and improved Open Transport networking.
The 'spinning wheel of death' is a nightmare for many Mac users. Using the OS X Recovery. Locks up when one application enters an infinite loop from which it. Officially, the macOS Human Interface Guidelines refers to it as the spinning wait cursor, but it is also known by other names, including the spinning beach ball, the spinning wheel of death, the spinning beach ball of death, or the ferris wheel of death. I'm not sure if step 1 was necessary, but since I did this en route to fixing the loop of death, I'll list it here for you to consider. Try to reinstall Mojave (this won't wipe your disk) - I wanted to return my macbook to as original a condition as possible, and I figured attempting to install Mojave was the best way to do it.
