Help unable to install OS X as hard drive not visible in internet recovery mode

Hi


I have a MacBook Pro


During use my screen froze and I had to force quit. Since then I have tried the following:


Turning on in safe mode

Internet recovery - no mac hd or partition recovery drive are visible in disk utility only OS X base system

Unable to install maverick as there's no disc visible to select

If I try to verify the start up disc is greyed out

Starting up with cmd r

Tried to reset PRAM

Start up disc does not display anything


ALL TO NO AVAIL, is the hard drive defunct or is there anything else I can try ?


Many thanks for your help


Elie

See this thread, this is 3rd regarding recovery/restore - as a starting point.


Obviously it is easier if you have a couple backups, a drive you can use, and don't mind erasing the internal drive.


It is a lot easier then. And it would be easier if you didn't have a notebook. This forum is not MacBook Pro but the tower or workstation.
