Error on IOS install from internet recover late 2015 iMac I have a late 2015 imac that I'm selling and I erased the drive, via disk utility, but didn't install the IOS before closing disk utility. I've tried installing from an internet disk recvovery, but it keeps erroring out. I'm able to select the HD, but immediately get a progress bar that's 3/4 full with a message saying more than 2 hours are remaining. It then switched to saying 17 hours remaining and then errored out. I'd really like to avoid paying an apple store to fix the solution since I'm getting very little for this as it is. I took some screen shots of the disk utility info. I called apple support and they had me do exactly what I'd done on my own and then told me I'd have to go to an apple store to have it fixed. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Boot Recovery using Option-Command-R (newest supported) or Shift-Option-Command-R (oldest still available), and try again.
