Deleted my iMac Hardrive - Disk Utility can't see it Hi. When I was cleaning up my iMac I went too far and did something I shouldn't have done. Now the disk utility tool cant see the disk anymore .... :-( The iMac works fine - or it did until I messed things up. I reboot with option + command + R for an internet OS recovery and it works fine, until it's time to select the disk where the installation should occur. And as I said, there is no disk. Everything worked fine until I did the incorrect action deleting/formatting the HDD, so I guess the HW is ok. Feels like som magic in the terminal is needed? I have no idea how to manage this and don't even know where to start, except that it feels like this must be managed in the terminal somehow. Any ideas? I have attached som pictures to clarify the thing a bit.

How to reinstall macOS and the computer will Require an Active and functioning Internet Connection.

For best results use an Ethernet Cable from Computer to Router.
