Opties

You need to use Disk Utilities and format the drive before you can install a system on it. Give it one partition, use Apple Partition Map. Then exit Disk Utilities and continue with the System Installation.

Check the cable connections to the logic board and the drive. What kind of crash did the old drive have? Examine the capacitors on the logic board for swelling and/or corrosion.
