Hey Jinarajja.


if you are having trouble booting into your macs recovery drive, you can reinstall macOS from the ‘internet recovery’ option.


To do this, make sure your mac is powered off. Then hold down option - command - shift and R. Keep holding until you see the option to connect to a Wi-Fi. Connect to your network and your mac will boot into the recovery OS. (This can take a while depending on your internet speeds)


Hope this helps.
