How to create the disc Macintosh HD

Hi,

I was resetting one of our old MacBook Pro in order to pass it on within the family. Unfortunately I seem to have deleted the base disk Macintosh HD wich means I can't install OS again.

How do I correct this mistake?

Thanks in advance,

Michael

The solution is to boot macOS Recovery again and use Disk Utility to completely erase the device.


Follow these instructions: Erase and reformat a storage device in Disk Utility on Mac - Apple Support.


Pay attention to Step 4. "The device" in its context refers to the entire storage device, meaning not a volume or partition subordinate to that device.
