I wiped the hard drive of a 2012 MacBook Air to set it up for a new user and must have deleted the startup disk as I cant start it. I just get a flashing folder image with a question mark. I have tried to start it holding down command and R, but it still wont boot up. It does go to "internet recovery mode", but then I don't know what to do,
Please help. Thank you
Hi,
You would need to enter WiFi access point passcode for Internet Recovery Mode, if recovery macOS doesn't start up.

Mount the Drive:
Boot into Recovery Mode (Hold Down: [Command + R] upon boot). Then, using Disk Utility, see if the Hard Drive is seem. If it is, then see if you need to click the “Mount’ button for it. Try rebooting once more. If of no success, then click unmount button, and then the mount button. Try rebooting once more.
