Hi, A friend of mines Mac has crashed can't see hard drive (just shows a folder on boot up), I did cmd R boot and used disk util to delete drive then tried to do a restore. After doing this machine couldn't see the drive, despite numerous reboots into internet recovery mode. So we bought a new chip (Drive), when we bought it we made sure it was compatible with the laptop, when it arrived and I checked the instructions it said make sure machine is on OS10.13 or above. I cant check this and my friend didn't now, we plugged in the new chip and started the machine up (disconnected battery, removed old chip, inserted new, screw back in, replaced battery connection) pressing CMD R, the machine still cant see the drive in drive utils app. can I check if the machines OS was at 10.13 or above or if not can I do anything to update it to this?
Any ideas welcome,
Thanks,
Simon
