“internet recovery” solved my problem. 1 restart mac by holding down option, command and R keys until a small turning globe shows up.

2 wait till it finishes install.

3. Follow instructions and choose the latest os for your computer.

4. Finish install.

it takes 2 hour drive to an Apple store. Round trip 4 hours for me plus lost wage. Thanks for your quick reply.
