rased, or erased?


Disk Utility will need to format it HFS Extended GUID. You can't use NTFS, or ExFAT, FAT32, or case sensitive.


As a 2009 Mac does not support Recovery, Internet Recovery, you will need to find a proper stand alone installer already put on a flash drive or an external hard drive to connect to the Mac to install. The App Store is not fully available for older systems either.
