Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can make a bootable USB or if you plug in your hard drive into a Mac or install the hard drive into your Mac. After it's installed or plugged in, you should be able to start your Mac and pressed down the option key. It will go into recovery mode and from the recovery mode screen you should be able to reinstall the operating system.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Well, I think you'd definitely need to use a different computer. At this different computer, you'd download the operating system onto a flash drive (see DIY guides and instruction manuals on how to create a bootable disk drive on a flash stick/drive). After that, you'll be able to stick that USB drive into your MB pro, turn it on, press some buttons while it boots up (I forget which ones, but they are on those guides), and it will take you to a version of MacOS where you'll be able to do a myriad tasks, including installing an operating system.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Copy the OS onto a thumb drive and boot from the the thumb drive on the fresh install of the new drive. Here is a link from MacWorld to help. http://www.macworld.com/article/2981585/operating-systems/how-to-make-a-bootable-os-x-10-11-el-capitan-installer-drive.html I followed the same steps and this works well. Good luck
