I have a MacBook 13” late 2008z
i need to wipe it and reinstall OS
its running El Capitan - I have tried shutting down; then starting up with CMD and R and it won’t go into restore mode.
also, Option on start up, and all that shows is the main Macintosh HD bit I presume some sort of OS partition should be showing as every time I try and select it it just boots up as normal?
any ideas?
