Hi,


According to the article you were looking at:


If the installer doesn't see your disk, or it says that it can't install on your computer or volume, you might need to erase your disk first.


Note that this will erase all your data, so if you don't have a backup, you shouldn't do this unless your data doesn't matter to you.

Re-Mount the Drive:

Boot into Recovery Mode (Intel or Silicon) . You need to click the “Mount’ button to proceed. So, select the drives, and then click "Mount" Try rebooting once more. If of no success, then click unmount button, and then the mount button. Try rebooting once more. It looks dulled-out. So, if you cannot click it, then click the First Aid button to fix this volume.
