It would help to have more details on exactly what happens and any specific error messages.


It would also help to know the exact model of the Mac which you can get by clicking the Apple menu and selecting "About This Mac" or by entering your system serial number here:

Also knowing why you are attempting to reinstall macOS may be pertinent as the problem you are trying to resolve with a reinstall of macOS may be the same problem that is causing the reinstall to fail.
