Q: While trying to reinstall OS X Mountain Lion, the error "could not write installation information to disk contact applecare"

I own a MacBook and yesterday i tried to reinstall OS on my system.

For that I first erased all my data and then chose the option to reinstall OS X from OS utilities.

 

It started to download the content and then suddenly stopped and went back to OS utilities. I now tried to reinstall OS X again and got the error

"could not write installation information to disk contact applecare" And I am now unable to move forward with the installation.

 

Can anyone please help ?

MacBook Air, null
