So I thought all was going well with my new HD install; however, upon OS install, i got stuck on the Install Mac OS X- select the disk where you want to install MAC OS X page... There are no options available... Any thoughts on what may have gone wrong?

Under utilities, the new HD is recognized...

Thanks!

In disk utilit, should I go to erase, format options? (ie mac is extended etc)

In disk utility, I don't see the format options...
Click to expand...

They are in the Partition tab.
