Question: Q: iMac OS X Mavericks No disk to select

You need to launch Disk Utility and erase the physical drive to format it as GUID partition and MacOS Extended (Journaled) before Mavericks will see a valid destination volume. I would actually click on the «Partition» tab and select «1 Partition» as MacOS Extended (Journaled). Then go back to the «Reinstall OSX» option. Mavericks doesn’t know anything about the APFS file system (or possibly the newer CoreStorage).
If Mavericks won’t finish installing or boot correctly, then you may have a failing hard drive.
Edit: Failing drive is likely if entering local Recovery Mode using Command + R booted you to Mavericks since this means the internal drive no longer has a bootable recovery partition and the system booted into Internet Recovery Mode. You can try booting directly into Internet Recovery Mode using Command + Option + R to install the latest supported OS.

Try this. You need to establish an Internet connection, preferably Ethernet or fast Wi-Fi.
Internet/Network Recovery of El Capitan or Later on a Clean Disk
If possible back up your files before proceeding.
If the disk still does not show up, then it has died. BTW, if your internal disk is an HDD of Fusion Drive, then do not use APFS. The above procedure will install the version of macOS that was pre-installed when it was new.

Question: Q: Mavericks won’t install on primary hard drive
I’m having issues with installing Mavericks. I am currently running Mountain Lion 10.8.5, on Macbook Pro 15″ (late 2011). I have downloaded the installation app but when launched, in the ‘select the disk where you want to install OS X’ it shows my primary hard drive greyed out. When I click on it it gives me a popup reading «This disk is not formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Use Disk Utilty to enable journalling or reformat the disk». The disk is the 128GB Apple SSD that came with the machine, and it is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). There is plenty of free space on the drive, I do not use the drive for Time Machine backups, and I have no partitions on the drive. I am completely baffled as to why it won’t let me install Mavericks. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
Posted on Oct 24, 2013 2:19 AM
I had this exact problem for months on a retina MacBook pro running mountain lion. The laptop ran beautifully the only persistant problem was I could not perform a disk check while the OS was running (it would say ‘Disk utility stopped verifying «Macintosh HD». Couldn’t unmount disk’ )
The solution is simple however; simply launch disk utility and select the drive in question, either the MacIntosh HD if its the boot drive or an external drive it doesnt matter. Make sure you have the drive selected in the left panel of disk utility and then choose the «Enable Journaling» option at the top. It should be highlighed and green if the option has not already been set on the drive. It only takes a few moments to apply and you will be good to go with installing your new OS. As a side benefit it also resolves the problem of not being able to unmount a primary disk for a disk check and will allow ‘live verification» of the drive.

Installing macOS on a separate APFS volume
APFS makes it easier than ever to switch between versions of macOS, including a beta (prerelease) version of macOS.
If you install macOS on an additional volume of your startup disk, you can switch between that macOS and the macOS on your other volume, as if each were on a separate disk. And because storage space is shared across APFS volumes, you don’t need to reserve space for the new volume. Its size automatically adjusts to fit your content.
What you need
Your Mac must already be using macOS High Sierra or later on an APFS-formatted startup disk. Find out which format your startup disk is using.
You don’t need to reserve storage space for the new volume, but macOS needs as much as 20GB of available space to install, depending on the version of macOS. If you don’t have enough space, the installer will let you know.
About This Mac includes a storage overview: Choose Apple () menu > About This Mac, then click Storage.
Back up your Mac
It’s a good idea to back up your Mac first, especially if you’re installing a beta version of macOS. Beta software is software that is still in development, so some apps and services might not work as expected.
Add an APFS volume
Install macOS on the volume
Choose an installation method:
When the installer opens and you’re asked to choose where to install, click Show All Disks, then select the new volume.
Switch between macOS versions
After installation is complete, you can use Startup Disk preferences or Startup Manager to quickly switch between each macOS:
Keep the macOS on each volume up to date
To find the latest updates for each version of macOS, check for software updates, then start up from the other volume and check for software updates again.
Learn more
If your Mac is using macOS Sierra or earlier, or the startup disk is formatted as Mac OS Extended instead of APFS, you can create a new partition instead. The space it occupies doesn’t automatically adjust to fit your content, so you must manually size the partition. Learn how to add a volume to a device formatted as Mac OS Extended.
Change your Mac startup disk
You can make your Mac start up from a CD or DVD, a network volume, a different disk, or another operating system. To do so, you change your startup disk.
Important: If you have a Mac with an Apple T2 chip, added security features may need to be set in order to change the startup disk. See What is the Startup Security Utility?
Change your startup disk once
With your Mac or Mac with Apple silicon turned off:
On a Mac: Press and hold the Option key as you start up your Mac.
On a Mac with Apple silicon: Press and hold the power button until you see “Loading startup options”.
If you’re using a Mac mini, wait for the system indicator light to turn amber.
When you see the available startup disks, select one, then click the Up arrow (on Mac) or Continue button (on Mac with Apple silicon).
The next time you restart your computer, it starts up from the disk selected as your startup disk in System Preferences.
Change your startup disk for every startup
On your Mac, choose Apple menu
> System Preferences, then click Startup Disk 
.
If the lock at the bottom left is locked 
, click it to unlock the preference pane.
Click the icon of the disk you want to use, then click Restart.
WARNING: When selecting a network startup volume, make sure you select a network startup volume and not a network install image. Choosing a network install image reinstalls your system software and may erase the contents of your disk. A standard network volume icon appears as a globe with a folder. A network install icon appears as a globe with a downward-pointing green arrow.
Problems Reinstalling macOS Big Sur: Nothing Under «Select the disk where you want to install macOS.»

macrumors newbie
I recently opened up my brand new Macbook Air, the 2020 version with the M1 chip. All was good and well, until I forgot my password. Having not been able to properly set up an Apple ID account, I was left to reinstall macOS Big Sur on the thing.
After attempting to do so, I ran into the infamous «An error occurred failed to personalize when Installing Big Sur.» error. I then followed the official steps through the instructions stated in this video:
Following the instructions at the 8:40 mark, I erased my drives, both «Data» and «Macintosh HD» before proceeding and attempting to once again reinstall macOS with the hopes of not getting the aforementioned error. But upon doing so, I didn’t expect to be left with a «Container disk3» under an Apple SDD:
And now, when I get to the part where it asks me to «Select the disk where you want to install macOS,» there’s nothing to click!
I scoured the web and have unfortunately found absolutely nothing. I’ve tried adding an APFS volume to the container but doing so has only resulted in another error:
This was likely stupidity on my part, but at this point I’m reaching out for help as I have no idea what to do anymore. Really appreciate anyone who could lend me a hand here. Thanks!
