MacOS Reinstallation

Hello,

I tried to format my MacBook Pro 2013 through recovery mode some days back. Under disk utility, I erased data in "Machintosh HD @TT - Data" (I supposed it wasn't the one with OS files since it had a larger used volume between the two partitions).

However, my MacBook wouldn't boot up again, so I attempted "repair/reinstall Catalina OS" in recovery menu. But when it downloads up to "40mins remaining", it gives an error message (and this is with a good internet connection).

What can I do now? My laptop has become vegetable.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Follow these guidelines during installation:

If the installer asks to unlock your disk, enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.
If the installer doesn't see your disk, or it says that it can't install on your computer or volume, you might need to erase your disk first.
If the installer offers you the choice between installing on Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD - Data, choose Macintosh HD.
