Swapped a new Hardrive -- Can't install OSX??

I purchased a new Hitachi 60GB drive to replace the one that went dead in in my Powerbook G4 1.67GHz.

I popped in a 10.4 install disc and when I get to the "Select Destination" step I can pick a volume, nothing is there!

I go to Disc Utility and I can see the Hitachi Travelstar there but I can't do anything w/ it. Any help?

Load Disk Utility and select Erase, and be sure to format it as Mac OS Extended I belive it is. It probably isn't properly formatted.

StretchR: how is he meant to do this when he can't even load OSX????? haha

I am new to Macs also, but I believe that with the OSX install disk in the drive reboot holding the C key. This should take you to the option menu and just follow the step from tere for disk utility.....I haven't had to do this myself yet.

Click to expand...

The OSX CD/DVD boots, you go to the menu on the CD and run the Disc Utility. You do not need to be in OSX.
