Hi folks!

I have the following problem. I have a PBG4 ppc and started it from the install disc 1 to verify the HD. I made a mistake, and I followed the procedure like if I were to re install the macosx. Then I realized of the mistake and ran disk utilities to verify and repair the hd. After several attempts to repair it, without success, I decided to reinstall the macosx, but to my surprise, the install disk did not find the hd!!. So i ran disk utilities again and I realized the the disk had no mounting point (in the information i red "mounting point: -". So my question is:
How can I do to solve this mounting problem, or at least to reinstall the os?

Thanks in advance!!,

If you open Disk Utility (from the install disk Utilities), there should be the option to format the drive, or to partition it. If you e.g. partition it to 1 and then make sure the format is HFS+, then the installation should be possible. Downside is of course that all data on the hard drive will be lost, so I hope you have a backup of what needs to be saved.
The clean formatting of the drive should create a new mount point to the drive.
