Hi,
My Macbook Pro (2012 i think, it came with Lion OS) crashed last night. I've accessed the internet recovery mode (command option r) and entered the Disk Utility. Only "disk0" and a sub-item "Mac OS X Base System are present in the left panel. When i type "diskutil cs list" into terminal it says "No CoreStorage logical volume groups found".
When I attempt to Reinstall Mac OS X (lion), the "select the disk where you want to install Mac OS X" is empty.
I suspect the internal hard drive is damaged or perhaps unmounted i.e missing... I am considering buying a replacement hard drive (preinstalled with El Capitan) from Ebay and installing it myself, hopefully it will be recognised and problem solved!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
