Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone can help me please?
I want to sell my Mac Book Pro and i followed the guidelines on how to wipe it, but i'm getting the following message - See picture :
I then click on the drive which says "untitled"
then i get this message...
I'd be very grateful if someone could let me know what i need to do to get it in a state to sell it?
Many thanks
Lara :)

I found a thread with a similar problem as you.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250793420
The solution there provided by jmaiers seems to have worked for them,
Took me forever to figure this out and ive got it dialed in and want to help people with the same issue it happens every time you do a clean restore
no usb needed
1. use disk utility and clean drive you will install on...
2. Connect to a wifi or plug in ethernet and download os x (second option I believe ..) It will download and then try to install itself and then fail with no packages were eligible message with option to restart ....
3. shut off wifi (top right) or unplug ethernet cord
4. go to utilities -terminal- type this and only this, date 0115124517
5. it will show new date with new time it should be jan 1 12:45 2017
6. now hit restart ( wifi will reconnect automatically)- if using ethernet hit reset and connect ethernet cord
——it will now do its thing and you will notice a different screen then previous—- thank you for everyones input I figured a simplified straight to the point version would be beneficial to everyone- no usb needed
Good luck!
