Can't select destination volume to install Mac OS X software

[MacLori]

Obviously I already know how to replace a hard drive... DUH. I was looking for some suggestions as to what might be WRONG that I can FIX before I replace it.

Once again, did you even READ THE POSTS? Like I said already, I have had a Mac since they were just "Apple" 27 yrs ago !!! and Very plainly, in black and white - my last posts clearly states:
"I have a new hard drive, but gosh it's an all day job and requires disassembling the entire computer..."

So, gee, knowing that it will be a strenuous task, should show that I am familiar with replacing hard drives!

For goodness sakes, PLEASE please PLEASE stop replying if you are only going to belittle yourself, and make stupid nonsense comments!!!!

I am looking for real help here!! NOT some jerk who has nothing better to do than to insult users, and make his self look like a total moron.

You better "lern" some internet etiquette before posting another reply. I am sick of logging in here, and wasting my time, when it says I have a reply- just to see this B.S.

Good day

Oh and BTW
For those of you reading this, and willing to help me, yes I tried numerous ways to use disk utility. I tried before selecting anything, I tried after, I tried in the middle. Sometimes the disk will come up with the red exclamation mark- sometimes it is just blank. But it always shows the disk in the DU menu, and it gives me the option to mount it but will not complete.

The logs say unable to mount, the fsck does not repair or find any other disk than the install disk.

any suggestions, please let me know- I am at my wits end.

I had a similar problem. Hard drive went out on iBook G4 12. I install new hard drive from OWC. Couldn't get pass the select drive screen during Tiger install. I did what everyone suggested...hitting 'back', erasing the drive, reformatting the drive, and still nothing. Finally I decided to give Leopard a try (not Snow Leopard) and it worked! Leopard recognized the drive and am installing as of now! Good luck.

hey maclori!

For someone who is new to the site and has only made 4 posts, i would say
that based on your pompous attitude and you acting like an all around jerk
that it is YOU who should "lern" some internet etiquette, because you come
across as a very rude and ill mannered person with your ranting diatribe
towards Satcomer, who is extremely knowledgable when it comes to apple
computers and troubleshooting computers in general.
