cant reinstall OS X in macbook air..
MacBook Air
MacBook Airs made July 2011 or later, just need a command-R to reinstall, as long as the drive connected or internal is in good shape.
If the data is damaged, or in need of recovery, bring it to a recovery service first. Make sure your data is backed up before installing anything.
If you have no data of import on the machine and want to reinstall the original OS that came with the computer, you can command-option-shift-R boot your Mac, and use Disk Utility to wipe the machine and reinstall the original operating system that came with it. This needs internet access either by secure WiFi, or direct to ethernet on a high speed internet.
If Disk Utility of either command-R or command-option-shift-R can't see the drive you want to install on, you may have a damaged drive that needs replacing.
Macbook Airs older than July 1011 shipped with a USB thumb drive with the original operating system. This may be necessary if your Mac is that old, or if older than March 15, 2010, you can use the 10.6.3 retail DVD, and an external DVD burner.

Is it trying to Install an older OS version?

Option-⌘-R
Upgrade to the latest macOS compatible with your Mac.
Thanks, has been tried but failed. There is notification as shown. Any advice?
Have tried it but failed, now its only showing like this when i turned it on
Now showing like this...
I suspect we may be dealing with a dead or dying HardDrive, can you get an external drive & install to it?
