Sorry, I don't quite follow.
I'm using a different computer to load Disk Utility, but when I select the drive and "erase" it doesn't give the option for "Journaled", only APFS. What am I doing wrong?
It started in High Sierra we could use both journaled or apfs, then the option for journaled disappeared in Mojave. I use El Capitan or Sierra drives to erase in journaled. Disk utility kinda sucks now, older versions seem to be better formatted.
Can you use your backup El Capitan to boot and erase the disk?
