- Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime hold down the (Command-Option-R) keys until a globe appears.
- The Utility Menu will appear in from 5-20 minutes. Be patient.
- Select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button.
- When Disk Utility loads select the drive (usually, the out-dented entry) from the side list.
- Click on the Erase tab in Disk Utility's main window. A panel will drop down.
- Set the partition scheme to GUID.
- Set the Format type to APFS (SSDs only) or Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)
- Click on the Apply button, then click on the Done button when it activates.
- Quit Disk Utility and return to the Utility Menu.
- Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.

@shiham - You have the right idea here! Sadly, this system doesn't offer this newer ability (some 2010 models with a firmware update offered it).
The drive appears damaged which is why I had asked if the had a fresh drive.
is the new drive SSD
Do you have access to a second internal drive?
You'll need a SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) drive for this system. Make sure it is.
