[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1839723, member: 396914"] That is impossible to do. If you wipe the entire drive, you won't have anything to boot from at all. And no operating system to update. At this point you have three options: Recovery, boot from external clone drive, boot from external with an installer on it. You say Recovery doesn't work, which leaves the two external drive solutions. Do you have a second Mac that you can use to build a USB thumb drive installer? If so, get DiskmakerX, download the version installer you want to use from Apple, create the bootable USB, boot from it and do the install. [/QUOTE]
