DIsk Utility will not recognize my drive to erase.

Hello,
I am trying to erase my hard drive to install a new OS. I will be installing either OS 8.6 onto the 12 GIG ATA internal hard drive - the original hard drive.
I am using an OS 10.1 installer CD.
(I thought that DIsk Utility would be a better hard drive formatting utility than OS 8's drive setup utility.)
I first started up from the OS 10.1 installer CD and it first takes me through a few basic questions about the language (I chose English) and then a licencing question and I clicked agree. When it asks me which volume I would like to choose, both of my hard drives are shown but they are greyed-out (dimmed). When I hover over them with the mouse pointer, a small message appears to the left that says something like:
"This hard drive is dimmed because the CD installs all the languages"
This doesn't seem to make any sense. I was booted form the CD.
Why can I not use this installer to erase my hard drive?
This is a retail version of OSX with a white label. It came with two disks: OS9 and 10.1. The symptoms described above happened with the 10.1 disk. Next I will try OS 9. However I would like to know why my DIsk Utility on the OS 10.1 CD didn't show my drive as available. Any suggestions why the hard dirves were grayed out?
Thanks

Thanks Lau for you comments.
I need to install os8 because I need to run some old apps and I am using my os 9 for another computer I have.
By the way, the HFS+ file system was suuported from OS 8.1 and after and so that is not an issue. Good idea though.
And so I am back at my original question. It would appear that my OS X install disk doesn't like my blue and white G3's internal 12 GIG ATA drive and so I cannot format it with OSX Disk Utility. I would like to know why but for now I will just use OS 9 or OS8 drive setup. And so I have two choices: OS9 drive setup or OS8.5 Drive setup. Does it matter which I use? In other words is one better than the other? I will be later installing OS 8.6 onto this drive - and maybe OS 9 in the far future. I will try OS9's drive setup first.
Yes, and so this is my most immediate question at this point:
is there a difference between OS8.5 drive setup and OS9's Drive setup? (in terms or formatting a drive to install OS 8, 9 or even X maybe one day?) I will be using HFS+.
And then my second question is my original question which is why doesn't my OS 10.1.5 Disk Utility select my 12 GIG ATA drive? (its greyed out - dimmed?)
Thanks

  • Disk utility does not recognize internal drive

    iMac Core 2 Duo previously running Mountain Lion OSX quit recognizing the internal 1 GB boot hard drive. Have attempted repair with Disk Utility but Verify says that the drive is fine yet it will not boot. Can boot from an external USB drive running latest version of Mavericks. Have also tested internal drive using latest version of TechTool Pro 7 but without success. TechTool Pro recognizes the external USB boot drive but does not visualize the internal drive. Cannot visualize internal drive to erase and reformat.
    Any suggestions for visualization of internal drive and repair? Or is this likely a dead Apple internal HD?

    While booted from your external drive or boot from the Recovery Drive, run Repair Drive in Disk Utility.
    Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
    Run Repair Drive
    It sounds like the internal drive might be dead. If you replace, I suggest SSD drive. They are really fast.
    Under About this Mac,
    Open System Profiler > Hardware
    Copy the Serial number and model identifier. You can use this info to shop for a new drive.
    Go to this site and check out their drive prices and videos to see if you can do the install yourself.

    If you're truly running 10.6.8, there is no Recovery partition - that didn't come along until 10.7x.
    You'll need to use the set of gray discs that originally shipped with your model. If you don't have them, you can always get your serial number from the bottom of the casing and call Apple to get a set of replacement discs. These will run you about $20 + shipping & taxes. Once you have the discs, boot from Disk One and use Disk Utility to erase your HD and then reinstall whichever version of OS X that shipped with your model. No way around of getting the discs.

  • Disk Images will not mount and Disk Utility will not runru

    I am having some major problems with Disk Utility, Disk Images, and software update. First, Disk utility will not open or run. When I double-click the application icon, nothing happens, no message, nothing. I am running OSX 10.4.11. I have deleted diskutility prefs. I am able to run Disk Utility from the Startup DVD of Tiger. On first run, it verified and repaired permissions. I run verify and repair permissions several more times from Startup DVD and everything is fine. But Disk Utility on my startup HD will not work. Similary, NONE of my disk images will mount. No matter what Disk Image i try to mount, nothing will. And I cannot use Disk utility to mount them! So, no matter what I download, no images will mount. And thirdly, when I try to run software update, it will not work. I do get a message: it says, "Could not load Software Update." Finally, i tried to download Onyx to delete log files, etc.. but again, the disk image will not mount. I was able to install a dashboard widget called "maintidget" and was successful in running the daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance tasks. Can anyone help? Everything else works fine!!! All apps! Safari, Mail, iTunes, MS Office, everything works fine. Thanks for ANY help!

    Previously, I had run verify permissions, repair permissions multiple times(from startup DVD) - no probems found. Deleted disk utility prefs. Run the maintenance taskes (daily, weekly, monthly). Nothing worked. But, I forget to check the drive for problems. So I ran disk scan. It found "invalid node" and repair disk could not do it. So, do I erase and do a fresh install or get DiskWarrior? I am running Leopard so I do not have Time Machine but I have backed up my documents, iTunes Library, iPhoto Library, etc... Another thing I found out the hardway is to sync all your bookmarks, mail settings and messages, etc... with .mac if you have an account. Any more suggetions?

  • I've tried to conduct a secure erase with disk utility. I highlight the drive but erase options are not available.

    I tried to conduct a secure erase with disk utility. I highlight the drive but there's no place to click "erase."

    If you have an SSD, then the best thing you can do it enable System Preferences -> Security -> FileVault, so that any deleted files are just an encrypted jumble of bits to anyone that does not have the encryption key.
    And even if you do erase the SSD, it does not work the way you think, and retired SSD zones may have your data, and never see an erase.
    This is way keeping the SSD encrypted means retired zones are just encrypted jumble of bits.
    If you do NOT have an SSD, is it possible you are trying to erase your boot disk while you are actually using your boot disk?  Disk Utility will not allow you to do that either.

  • Disk Utility will not verify disk because, "The underlying task reported failure on exit."  Now what?

    Disk utility will not verify disk because, " The underlying task reported failure on exit."  The "repair disk" button does not light up.  The report says that repairs need to be made to the hard drive.  I have already checked permissions.  What do I do next to get the repair process started?  Also, I cannot find a defragmenting drive option in Disk Utility.  Doesn't it exist?

    You need to boot from the install DVD (or a clone of your internal) to run Repair Disk. Repair Disk will be grayed out, dimmed, because you can't repair from the same volume you are booted from.
    EDIT: No, you do not yet need to use Disk Warrior or Tech Tool or do any reformatting. These steps might become necessary only if Repair Disk fails.
    Unless you have very large video files, for example, there is no need to run any defragmenting utility. OS X does it all by itself on the fly.
    Try Disk Utility
    Start from your Mac OS X Install disc: Insert the installation disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
        Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    Click the First Aid tab.
    Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    Select your Mac OS X volume.
    Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    If you don't have the install DVD, try a Safe Boot. Hold the Shift key down at startup and give it much more time to boot than usual. It's trying to repair the drive directory.

    My disk utility will not let me highlight journaled in the drop down menu. I need to erase the entire mac for re sell purposes.

    You need to be booted from another source as you cannot delete or reformat the drive you are booted from. See if you can either use the original install disks (Snow Leopard or earlier) or internet recovery (Lion or later) to boot from and then be able to use the Partition tab to partition and format it correctly.

  • IPhoto 06 and Disk Utility will not launch

    I have a friend who has upgraded to iLife 06 on her G4 Mirrored Doors and when she tries to launch iPhoto 06 it bounces in the dock and then stops. iWeb will launch, as well as iDVD and iMovieHD, but Disk Utility will not. I have used the Tiger Install DVD to repair permissions as well as run FSCK -fy in single user mode. Nothing seems to fix these problems. Any advice will be appreciated.
    TIA.

    Since Disk Utility won't run I'd reinstall the 10.4.8 COMBO updater. Then see if DU will launch. If so repair disk permissions with it. Then see if iPhoto will launch. If not then reinstall iPhoto from the iLife disks, update to 6.0.4 with System update, and then download and run the 6.0.5 updater (it will only run on 6.0.4). Then run Disk Utility again and repair disk permissions.
    Before reinstalling however, all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder must be deleted along with the current application.

  • Disk Utility Will Not Open

    Disk Utility will not open. It will start but closes immediately. Removed com.apple.Diskutility.plist from user preference folder. Still will not open. Selected try again when that dialog box showed up. Rebooted. Same results.
    Rebooted from external source and ran Disk Utility.
    Apparently, something is missing in one of the libraries.
    Need help.

    Hey Doc, here's what I did to work your sugesstion: clean all three logs, attempted opening Disk Utility, and viewed all three logs. cdonsole.log and system.log were the same stating Disk Utility Crash.log was written to.

  • I have new hard drive in macbook pro(08) and have SATA cable with external power source to old hard drive (10.5.8)via. USB port and newer drive(10.6.8) will not recognize older drive..Do I need to partition newer drive with older disk to recover data?

    I have new HD 750GB Hybrid in 2008 Macbook Pro 17" w/ Snow Leopard 10.6.8  connected to old Hard drive(250GB that had 10.5.8 on it at time of failure) via SATA cable to USB port with external power source.. Computer not acknowledging old HD at all in Disk Utility or otherwise (that I'm aware of)..Do I need to partition New HD and load old(10.5.8) onto partition to recognize older drive for data recovery? Thanks Wayno08

    You do not need to load 10.5.8 onto your new drive in order for a 10.6.8 system to see the contents of a 10.5.8 system.
    You might want to check out the hard drive troubleshooting bootk in the downloads section of this web site:
    http://scsc-online.com
    They also sell a product named Phoenix that can do OS extraction  and volume copying/cloning, but to be honest I don't know if it's appropriate in this case.
    I would suggest the following:
    Open up Terminal.app (under utilities) and type "diskutil list" without the quotes. This is the command line version of Disk Utility. If the external drive doesn't show up at all, then it's likely not connected properly, not getting power, or just plain dead. If it shows up with only a devce name like disk0s16 but no volume it means the drive is seen, the OS just can't make sense of it.
    Assuming the drive shows up, I would try to boot off the original installl disks for the system and run Disk Utility from that. I'm assuming the drive will show up. You'll want to select the option to repair the drive and then perform the option to repair the permissions.
    If the unit isn't showing up, as per step 1, try a different USB port. More importantly with your unit, try it on another side of the unit if possible. If you read the book I referenced above, some of those units have I/O boards that are separated from the logic board. If the cable from the logic board to the I/O card goes bad or has problems, which isn't all that uncommon, some or all of the ports on the I/O card may appear to be bad as well. If you use a USB port on another side, it would be routing out of a completely different I/O path, so that's a potential problem.
    If the drive is only seen with a device name such as disk0s16, it's likely either the index files are corrupt beyond Disk Utility's ability to see them. The  only thing that I think would help would be a product named DIsk Warrior, but I can't guarantee that.
    Disk Warrior can be found at:
    http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/
    The company that I linked in the first link above also makes a product named Scannerz that does HD and system testing. The Scannerz/Disk Warrior combination make a good pair because the complement each other....Scannerz does what Disk Warriror can't and Disk Warrior does what Scannerz can't. However, at this point I'm not too sure getting a tool like Scannerz would be of much use because it sounds like the  damage has already been done.
    Let us know what happens.

  • 27" I7 iMac will not recognize thumb drive

    I have a PNY 8gb Attache thumb drive that is not recognized by my 2010 27" I7 iMac.    It does not show on the desktop, disk utility, finder or system profile. However, this thumb drive works on my MacBook, 2006 24" iMac and a Dell laptop running XP.   I have 4 other drives (1-4gb) that work on all of our computers. Currently running Lion @ 10.7.3 but this problem existed on SL @ 10.6.8 also.   I have tried this drive as a FAT-32 and Mac OS journaled and the 27" still will not recogize the drive.    Any thoughts?    Thank you.
    Forgot to mention - called Applecare but they couldn't help.

    Try doing a SMC reset, that might help. Otherwise I'd try another thumb drive.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Disk Utility will not burn DVDs

    Disk Utility will no longer burn DVDs. I have tried both Memorex and Verbatim DVD+R DL -- Disk Utility tells me the disks are locked, not writable, capacity 0. These are fresh DVDs right off the spindle. I am, however able to write to these same DVDs using Burn, so it's not a media problem. Tried deleting preferences for Disk Utility, tried using Drive Genius 2 to repair the HD, but it didn't show any problems. Any solution short of doing a clean install of the system?

    Hi-
    Will the drive read any discs?
    Have you tried burning a disc at slower speed?
    Have you tried a different, quality brand of disc?

  • G4 disk utility does not see hard drive

    I am helping someone with a G4 Quicksilver. She is running 10.4 but only has disks for 10.1 and 10.2. When I boot with the 10.2 CD, disk utility does not see the hard drive. I was thinking of connecting her computer to my MacBookPro (Intel, 10.5) via target disk mode and then running Disk Utility. Is that crazy? She is suffering from slow startup and grey screen. I've disconnected the periferals, safe booted, reset PRAM. She really needs Disk Utility.

    with the 10.2 CD, disk utility does not see the hard drive.
    Disk Utility from 10.2 should see the hard drive (the drive name should appear in the left box). If it does not, the drive is malfunctioning or has a loose cable.
    If you attempt to Verify, it will complain that there are illegal values in reserved fields in several different record types. Using this older Disk Utility to repair a 10.4 disk may cause more problems than it solves.
    As Tom \[Texas Mac Man] says, you should only repair 10.4 and later disks with 10.4 and later Disk Utility:
    HT2648- Only use Mac OS X 10.4-compatible disk utilities with Mac OS X 10.4 volumes
    • If you boot the regular Hard Drive (no CD/DVD required) while holding down the Shift key, it will do a quick check of the Hard Drive, then boot up in "Safe Mode". This will fix any simple Disk problems.
    • 10.4.3 and later can do a Disk Utility Verify of the Boot drive, "live" (but cannot Repair "live").

  • Disk Utility will not secure erase after 2015-002 security update

    HI
    I have a Mac Book Pro, May 2010, 2.4 ghz; 8gb ram; 500 gig hd (which I installed in Sept 2013), running Mac OS 10.9.5.  I am running Disk Utility Version 13. 
    I run secure erase, single, three and seven passes, several times a week, and regularly clean out cache files.  I have used about 228 gb; 271 gb are free.
    After installing Security Update 2015-002, I ran secure erase, single pass.  I got a failure message stating disk utility could not erase temporary file.  I ran secure ease, single pass, on the admin, everyday use and guest portions of my hard drive,  Same error message.
    Is a solution beyond doing a Time Machine backup, wipe the hard drive clean on a single pass, and reinstall?  Buy a new hard drive?  Thanks

    Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

  • Disk Utility does not recognize internal HD

    Hello community!
    I am a computer lab assistant (all iMacs) for my work and am troubleshooting a problem as follows:
    Specs:
    Mac A:
    OS X 10.8
    2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 processor
    4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory (2 slots x 2 GB in use, 2 slots empty)
    27-inch Mid-2011 iMac
    Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512MB
    The problem is that Disk Utility does not always recognize the internal HD on mac A. In fact, only once it showed up recently and that was after a couple of restarts. Programs run very slowly and are not very responsive.
    Troubleshooting steps taken thus far:
    1. restarted mac A in internet recovery mode and ran Apple Hardware Test about 8 times (quick test 4 times and extended test 4 times). Every time it hangs indefinitely on the memory check.
    2. Installed and ran memtest in single user mode (mac A) with arguments "all 2" to run the test twice. All tests passed.
    3. Started up mac A in Target Disk Mode and booted mac B via firewire. Everything runs fine (fast), but disk utility installed on mac A's HD does not recognize any HD (neither firewire nor internal).
    4. Started up mac B in target disk mode and booted mac A via firewire. Everything runs fine (fast). Disk Utility on mac B's HD recognizes both firewire HD (of mac B) and internal HD (of mac A). Disk Utility verify and repair completed on mac A's internal HD. Everything OK.
    I'm unsure how to proceed. I assume the RAM on mac A is fine because it runs mac B's HD via firewire very fast (it handled opening all the apps on the doc simultaneously relatively well). I assume mac A's HD is fine because via firewire it shows up in disk utility and runs very fast on mac B. I just don't understand why Mac A's HD won't work well on mac A. Could it be a loose SATA connection between the HD and the logic board? Would that cause these symptoms?
    Thanks for any input.

    I ran Data Rescue 3 by Prosoft and it returned the following graph:
    In case you can't see the stats, that green spike is up to 30,000 msec in readtime for the HD. The smaller spikes before and after it are at about 2,000 - 3,000 msec. The threshold (red line) is a recommendation: persistant read times above the red line (about 1,000 msec)  could indicate a problem with the HD according to the program. I guess it's time to see about replacing the HD.
    Thanks.
