HELP. Think of going into recovery mode. Every drive there, I deleted. Now when I startup my computer all I see is a blinking folder. When I go into recovery mode, it brings up a globe where I enter My internet password. After i connect and it finishes some download after minutes, it says Apple.com/support-1008 or something. Plz help

Well, if you've deleted your OS folder along with everything else, this is to be expected. The Mac can't boot up without OS files. That's why it's showing you the "?" -- it's asking where the OS is because it can't find one.

"When I go into recovery mode, it brings up a globe where I enter My internet password. After i connect and it finishes some download after minutes, it says Apple.com/support-1008 or something."

It sure helps if you tell us
WHICH MAC you have, and
WHAT YEAR it was made, and
WHAT VERSION OF THE OS you were using with it.
