hello guys , the machine am currently using is having where I can not assess the internal drive , although I can erase it and mount it , but when I try to install MacOs , the machine would restart , however I am currently using the machine through an external drive . I tried to install Linux but could not go through either , meanwhile, I can successfully install macOS on an external drive , I am not familiar with an issue like this one , please help guys

Another trick from dukefawks collection:
Boot from wifi, hold shift+command+alt+R and turn on machine.
It should boot to the installer from the original OS that was shipped with the machine.

When I initiate the above process the internal drive do not appear , only Apple disk image Media and OS X Base System, so I can’t install

yes I did , just as you instructed, the original macOS was Sierra , but no internal drive found , so could not continue

So you can format internal SSD from installer, but it doesn't recognize it when go ahead with the installation?

I can see the drive too during the installer stage, but when I when through with the WIFI option , I didn't see the drive . Also , with the pen drive installer , once the drive has been formatted and I try to install to it , it would freeze and restart, I wish I can show you a video, but I don't know what medium to use for that
