Unable to install OS X El Capitan on new hard drive (Early 2008 Mac Pro) I have an early 2008 Mac Pro with the original 320MB hard drive. It is currently running OS X 10.11.6. I would like to install the same OS onto a ;eager (1TB) hard drive and then I pan to sell the machine. I downloaded the El Capitan installer but for some reason the OS X installer does not allow me to select the new hard drive as the destination. The new disk is grayed out and there is a yellow warning triangle with an exclamation point inside of it. The warning message reads: "OS X can't be installed on this disk. OS X isn't installed" (see attached screenshot). This makes it sound like the installer needs to see the previous version on the disk before it will install it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
