Thank God I didn't do this to my current computer that I use...
Anyways, I have an old G5 I'm getting ready to sell so I wanted to format the hard drive. I went to disk utility, went through the process of erasing the disk, and then I did the thing that writes zeros over everything on your hard drive for just a fully clean formatting...
Moving on now to install Leopard (I tried Tiger too), when I get to "Select Destination to install Mac OS X", my hard drive won't show up at all. When I go to disk utility or startup disk, it only shows the Leopard disc that's in the computer at the moment. Doesn't show Mac HD or the volume or anything whatesoever... did I do something terribly wrong??
I feel like at this point only something can be done from the Terminal, but I don't know what... anybody? Or any links to other threads/forums that have answered this somehow? Did I totally screw up the hard drive??
Sorry if this has been answered but I couldn't find this specific problem anywhere else. Everything I found people could still at least click on their HD in the disk util...
