My disk is gone in internet recovery mode

i want to reinstall my MacBook Pro 2015, I turned it off and then turn on pressing command + R, then I got MacOs Utilities I select -Disk Utility then choose Internal choose hard drive I wanted to erase.

Then I went to reinstall MacOs, I turned it off and then turn on pressing command + R, however I cannot enter recovery mode but internet recovery mode. Then I click on installer, but there is no disk to select.

then I know I format the wrong format. But as I open the disk utility, my ssd is gone (as indicate in the picture below).Now I can’t do anything.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

It either means the internal SSD has failed, or your laptop is using a third party NVMe SSD internally. If the latter, then you must boot into a macOS 10.13+ installer before you will see an internal third party NVMe SSD. You can try booting into Internet Recovery Mode using Command + Option + R to attempt to access the online installer for the most recent version of macOS installer available/compatible with this Mac, or you will need to create a bootable macOS 10.13+ USB installer.


If you can still boot this laptop to the internal SSD, then you can use the instructions in this Apple article for creating a bootable macOS 10.13+ USB installer:

Create a bootable installer - Apple Support


Otherwise you would need access to another Mac from Late-2009 to mid-2018 to create a bootable macOS 10.13 USB installer.


Or you can install macOS 10.10 Yosemite to an external USB3 drive which would then allow you to create a bootable macOS 10.13+ USB installer while booted from the external drive.
