Deleted Macintosh HD, how to fix
I was trying to delete the partitions labeled “free space” on my laptop, but it appears I deleted my Macintosh HD. When I start up my laptop, a black screen appears with a flashing folder that contains a question mark. When I restart the laptop and hit Command+R, the HD is no longer listed. When I attempt to reinstall macOS Sierra, no disk appears for me to select. I have never used time machine and so I can’t use that option. How do I fix this and get a HD back?
MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.12
