How do I reinstall things to normal on an erased iMac HD
Hi All,
I think I have shot myself in the foot. For reasons I won't bore you with I decided to erase my iMac HD. Had to use terminal commands because disc utility can't cope with fusion drives. Having successfully erased the HD I then set about reinstalling the O/S and failed dismally. Having searched the 'net for a method the closest I could get is shown in the pic below. Disc Utility admits that there is a 3T HD is there but it does not appear on the desktop Try as as I can I cannot restore the Fusion drive. Everything in the disc utility drive is "greyed out". I have spent several hours looking for a method that will restore the Fusion drive.
The method I used to erase the drive can be found here :-

One of the methods which I was trying to use to restore the drive can be found here:-
Unable to format/partition hard drive
The above methods relies on me being able to use disc utility.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Fortunately i have several backup discs and a Laptop that i can use until the iMac problem is solved.
Thanks in advance guys :-)
