I have purchased a mbp mid 2015 model from my friend. And tried to clean install the os so i erased the disk in recovery mode.

Later at the time installing the os through Internet recovery I found that my drive is not showing me.

Even I can't see my drive in disk utility.

I have seen through terminal with command line 'diskutil list' but cant find my internal drive(see pic below)

I also tried to boot it through bootable usb drive( which was booted in Mojave in windows laptop through Transmac) but i cantc even find the booting pendrive (see pic below)


Need a urgent help

One possibility, which should be obvious, is that the SSD has died.

However, it's also possible that you have a non-Apple SSD. Ask your friend to see if he knows what type of SSD is in the MBP. If it was bought used that your friend may not know for certain.

When you loaded Internet Recovery, did you press Option-Command-R or did you press Shift-Option-Command-R? With Option-Command-R, a non-Apple SSD should appear. If you did Shift-Option-Command-R, however, it probably won't appear.

If you booted with the full installer of Mojave (should be over 5 GB), then the drivers necessary to use a non-Apple SSD should be loaded. I cannot tell by your screenshots whether or not you have the full installer or not.
