Can't reinstall Mavericks since there's no option for disk selection

I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks through the Recovery Utilities. When asked to select a disk, I don't get any option. It's just blank. I tried doing the same through Internet Recovery. This started last night when I got the whole grey screen issue. I've already created a back up image using Disk Utility but I was hoping to be on the safer side of things and not do a clean reinstall and delete all my data. I don't get any message or anything. If I plug in an external hard drive, it says I can install my OS on to it but I'm not getting my actual hard drive as an option. I've been looking for a possible solution for a couple of hours now and I couldn't find anything. Please help if you can! I shall be eternally grateful. 
Thank you,
Rhea
