Is it possible the recovery is newer than Catalina? If so, try booting from internet recovery or external drive that has catalina on it.

I would try booting from Internet Recovery and then formatting the HDD in APFS if that is an option.

Hello, Yes I have tried it and that is the solution thanks :grinning:
