Then the old HDD can be erased and an OSX installed via Internet recovery (OPTION + COMMAND + R at startup).
Ciao.

Mac OS XThe HDD will have to be erased first. Did you get into Internet recovery? You should have seen a display with a revolving globe.

Jul 22, 2015 11:24 AM in response to OGELTHORPEby Christian Sottosanti,I did. I tried connecting to my internet both hardwired and wirelessly and neither worked. I typed in my password to my wifi and it rejects it 90% of the time and the other few times it would process the password for hours to no avail.

Mac OS XSounds like it will be a trip to the Apple store genius bar to get this sorted out. There will be no charge.
For situations such as this, as well as other circumstances, I have made USB installers of all OSX's since Lion. Consider doing the same when you get this resolved.
Ciao.
