SSD drive not showing in disk utility
My MacBook Pro was dropped and the HD broke, I went to repair it and long story short, it had to be booted from an external HD. A while later I stupidly formatted it and decided to purchase an SSD to prevent any more breakages. When I pressed CMD R on bootup and clicked “reinstall osx mountain lion” the SSD did not show up. I looked into it and there is no way for me to make a bootable USB drive to install osx on it as the Mac is my only one. Is there any way to to fix this or is my Mac permanently broken. My friend has a Mac and I was wondering if downloading it from her pc is viable.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?
Exactly with MacBook Pro do you have? I ask because the machine you selected uses a Apple priority blade. Also if you have installed High Sierra it may have reformatted the drive APFS. I am currently pulling my hair out fighting with APFS machines recognizing my external GUID formatted USB drives. Maybe @danj can shed some light on this for us.

What is the MacOS you have on your system (before you dropped it) and what was the external HD's MacOS you are trying to boot up from?

Like, what filesystem you formatted your MacBook with? What OS it has now? Hope your SSD is not in RAW format. You can Get Help Online through Recovery Mode. If you merely formatted your Mac then your MacBook should not be considered as broken.

In response to @danj, the os was mountain lion and the only things I have which I can use are the built in system functions and a brand new SSD. The previously used HDD which I used to boot from was wiped

In response to @batmac , the SSD is new and I have not formatted anything yet as the SSD does not show up in disk utility when I boot it with CMD R.
