“select a destination” blank in mac os x leopard installer

March 6th, 2008 by Lawrence David

to fix:

click on utilities in the menu bar and then “terminal.”

then type (omitting the dollar signs):

$ df -k

$ df -k

now, quit the terminal and your drive should be present!

thanks to the apple discussion forums for that tip!

   guys,

   try “utilities”
   disk utility
   and then create a new partition.

   it worked for me.
