Can't select hard drive during install

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I recently reinstalled OS X 10.3.9 on an old G4. My plan is to just use this computer for bible study. The problem is that no matter which Accordance installer I use I cannot select my hard drive. There is plenty of space available but it doesn't show up in the list.

 

At the point where I am supposed to Select Destination, the 7.4.2 and 8.3.3 installers says:

 

Items will be installed on the disk "^D"

 

If I try to install from my old 6.4 DVD the installation drive defaults to "Scholar's Collection 6.4" (i.e. the name of the DVD) and if I select my actual drive it instantly reverts back to "Scholar's Collection 6.4" and complains that the drive is locked when I attempt to proceed.

 

Any idea what the problem is?

 

Thanks,

Justin

This is a new problem to me. Have you tried a full shutdown and restart? Does Disk Utility find the disk, and can you do a Repair Permissions on it?

Disk Utility does recognize the disk. I repaired permissions and rebooted but the problem is still there.

 

My hard drive is formatted with the UNIX File System. Could that possible be related?

I reinstalled OS X and selected HFS+ this time. Now Accordance installs fine.

 

I am having an issue finding unlock codes for everything I've purchased though. I had BHS, NAS27 (if I remember the numbers correctly), BDB, and a handful of others. I thought some of those came with Core when I purchased it. I don't remember. Can you help me with this?

 

Thanks.
