Newly installed SSD won't reboot from recovery
Hi
I ordered a SSD upgrade kit from iFixit for my iMac Retina EMC 2806 to replace my failing Fusion Drive. Installed the New SSD today.
I did not do anything with the New drive before installing because nothing was said in the installation guide, either on video, or on the step by step instruction.
After installing the SSD and finish the assembly it won’t reboot for recovery. I press cmd+R but the booting ends with the no parking sign, and check apple.com/support.
I have also tried with a USB drive with macOS installer on it
What to do?

Sorry for my lack of english skills.
Questa è una buona domanda?
@helge226 - Your up late, or love getting up before the sun rise!
Can you tell us which macOS you are trying to install? And if you have access to either a wired or WiFi connection to the internet.
Here's a bit more on the prohibitory symbol and what it means: If your Mac starts up to a circle with a line through it

Hi
Live in Norway so there is some differences..
I opened up the iMac again, took out the New SSD, and formatted it with my MacBook.
Works fine now!
