I have used the [GUIDE] A fast and easy way to install Lion to try to install lion on my Dell XPS 410. I final got past the grey screen and rainbow wheel from hell lock and now that I got the installer to finally boot up I can only see the USB drive not my hard drive. Any Suggestions?

 

I did this

 

 

1. Read this guide:

2. Then read what browndogfred wrote about using the above method, post 1320 and 1323:

Boot the installer.

Answer the language question.

On the next page, go to the Utilities menu item and choose Disk Utility

Format your hard drive Mac OS Extended Journaled

Quit Disk Utility and return to installer

Select your formatted hard drive and install.
