Erased hard drive, now won’t boot

I wanted to erase my hard drive so that I could give my MacBook Pro to my friend (I upgraded). But I must have erased too much in Disk Utility, because it gave me the folder? picture when it rebooted. I tried holding down command R during boot:

Not a problem—

If you have an issue—

Boot into Internet Recovery (Option Command R) and from the dropdown menu: Utilities>  Disk Utility> run the First Aid on your Macintosh HD (and the "Macintosh HD-Data" volume as well if Catalina/Big Sur) If errors are found and repaired, run again until no errors reported.

Disk Utility>View>Show All Devices The best sequence is —

• Volume level

• Container level

• Parent drive

Hi,

Try to reformat the drive with DiskUtility which could show up the drive to install macOS again.
