Q: Reinstalling OS X, got error code -5010F
Hi, I am ready to sell an old mac, so I have erased Macintosh HD. I then went to Install OS X, and got halfway through that until it said that there were 8 hours left, an I did not have that time. I canceled it and had to shut down the computer (Not problems with computer) Now I went to turn it on a again, and it tried to use 'Internet Recovery'. After a few minutes I got the message: apple.com/support -5010F.
I have been to apple.com/suport but can seem to find anything about the number -5010F? Please help.
Also please note that I do not care if I lose all my data. I am selling the computer. The Mac is a 15'' non-retina MacBook Pro, which has already had the hard drive replaced. It is running the latest version of OS X El Capitan.
Thanks!

Hi, I have just fixed the issue. I forgot that I could start the computer up while holding Command and R. I am now on OS X Utilities screen and ready to install OS X (It is Mountain Lion, though. Not El Cap, but that's fine.)
Thanks to everyone for the help. I thought I was having to go to the Apple store and get them to fix it!
