Hi Puneet, If you have replaced the hard drive, the system cannot find a bootable image, so you get the cursor only. In order to install the OS you need to create install media, usually a Bootable USB drive or a bootable DVD. Here is a link to accomplish that task direct from apple. I always go with the USB Drive, Much easier to recycle for the next job. Be sure you have at least a 8GB USB available. Create Bootable Install Media Best of luck, Dean
Is your old drive still working? If it is we’ll need to connect it to your system externally using an adapter like this: Startech 2.5" SATA to USB adapter That way we can leverage it to prep your new drive.
