No disks are listed when trying to re-install OSX
I'm trying to roll back my mid-2014 rMBP back to an older OS (i.e. Yosemite or El Capitan). I followed instructions to wipe and reformat my hard drive to Mac OS Extended Journaled with the GUID Partition Map scheme. Since then, I've been having issues getting the any of the older installers to recognize my SSD when selecting a disk, but the Big Sur one recognizes it just fine in Internet Recovery mode and I am also able to select my SSD when restoring a Time Machine backup, which puts me back on Mojave. First Aid shows no errors with the disk, and I have tried to I have tried using the (shift + alt + cmd + r combo) recovery mode, as well as a USB Bootable Installer with El Capitan.
When I open the Disk Utility from the aforementioned Internet Recovery mode (not the alt + cmd + r combination), I don't see my reformatted drive or its accompanying Macintosh HD partition, even though they are corrected formatted. I only see disk0 and OS X Base System. The SSD does, however, show up in normal Recovery.
Any reason as to why this may be happening?
