Apple HDD Uninitialized
okay where do I begin. Last week my Mac started have issues. Upon boot up it would show a gray screen with a circle and a slash through it 🚫
throuGh my research I was told that I should re install my operating system However when I booted into my macOS Utilities and tried to install the OS it just wouldn’t load. I decided to creat a bootable USB drive using my girlfriends computer. This wokred and got me a little farther ahead. Now I could get to the install section but when it asked to chose a disk where I wanted to install the OS my HD wasn’t there just my USB drive containg the OS itself (check first picture) after researching more I was told that this is due to my HDD not being partitioned probably and that I should erase and re install it (I have nothing my Mac that needed saving) so I went ahead and erased the partition. This leads me to the issue I’m having now when I load up disk utility and select the HDD The section to add a partition is grayed out and it says Uninitialized. (Refer to pic 2) the Last thing I tried was erasing that drive and creatomg a new partition but it it just sat on the erasing tab for a very long time without moving. I’m lost at what to try next anyhelp would be greatly appreciated
ps. I just noticed it says partition map not supported down at the bottom
