When I open the Disk utility, nothing is listed. What is going on?

What do you expect to see?

Are you booted normally or from Recovery—is there an assocaited issue you neglect to say here...?

Is the sidebar turned on? DiskUtility>View>Sidebar

Try booting to Safe Mode. That boot up takes minutes and clears caches and other things that may resolve your problem.

A lot of times just boot to Safe Mode followed by normal boot resolves problems.

Safe Mode did it for me. Thanks!
