I'm trying to reset my iMac late 2007 model and the problem is, no matter how I format it, the hard drive will not appear on the hard drives that I can install os X to. I don't know how it became that way or how to fix it but it won't work when installing lion, snow leopard, or tiger.
 
And you used GUID as partition map scheme?

Do you have any other Mac with Firewire and even a compatible Firewire cable?

I don't have any FireWire cables or other macs and I used GUID and still it didn't work. I tried both erasing and repartitioning to no avail.
