Unable to format iMac Fusion Drive.
I'm selling my iMac, 27" late 2012 with 3TB Fusion Drive.
Last night I put it on to do a triple erase to make sure my data isn't recoverable. This morning it looked fine, however I don't appear to be able to do anything with the hard drive. It's now listed on the left in Disk Utilities as "Macintosh HD" but with no parent drive. There's no formatting options, and the partition tab looks fine although everything is greyed out. I also can't unmount the drive since that's greyed out, and when I try to reinstall OSX the drive isn't selectable. I've booted from a USB drive to see if that would help but getting the same options or lack thereof.
I tried contacting Apple support but they weren't very helpful and just suggested I take the machine to my "local" Apple store, which is around an hour away on the bus so not really possible, and I'd like to try to get this fixed. I have a Windows machine I can things from (it's how I made the bootable USB drive), but I have no other Mac here (to plug into the iMac for example), so does anyone have any other options I can try?
I can boot the machine normally, it comes up with the login screen, but it doesn't allow me to log in, so the HD is working and mounted, but not formatted correctly and I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9)
