In wiping the mini mac, it keeps looping to the erase and install. It won't allow me to shut down or eject the disk to put in the program disk. When the screen gets to the Install Mac OS X, it won't show any disk (the Mac Mini) to install it. I used the Utilities to erase and install, but I can't go any further. It should install with a system lower than the OS X Yosemite.

The disk is ejected. I don't know what the boot EFI is. Even with the Startup disk ejected, the computer goes to the Install MAC OXS, but there is no disk at the 'select the disk where you want to install Mac OS X. The Mac mini install disk is Mac OS X Install DVD. OS version 10.6.3 & I believe it was Snow Leopard. 2010
If Disk Utility does not show a HD then either the HD has failed or there is a loose connection.
Thank you. The computer will not allow me to use the apple menu. I am only able to select anything from the install disk, which allows me to only go into utilities. In order to shut down, I have to hold the on button until it shuts down. I think the solution will be to take this to the Apple people. At least, I can eject the disk. Thank you for your help.
