[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1932861, member: 396914"] No, the error is that for some reason, the machine is unable to connect to the internet recovery server. It could be that the server is temporarily down, or overloaded, or that your local machine isn't connecting to your local network. Do you have any way to connect by ethernet cable and try again? Also, note that the Cmd-SH-R recovery requires you to HOLD DOWN the three keys throughout the boot process. Some folks just tap it, but it doesn't work that way. You have to hold down the keys until you get the recovery options. [/QUOTE]
