Few!
I have just installed my new Hard drive, booted up and nothing, so I put my Osx disc in and went into disc utility and checked the hard drive, didn't know what I was doing really ( I guess looking for 'Format' or something).
Exit that and the 'Select a destination to install Mac Osx, however the drive had a '!' on it in red and underneath it says 'You cannot install mac Osx on this volume. You cannot start up your computer using this volume'.
??????????????
Please someone help as I was well pleased I installed the hd myself, done everything correctly using 'I fix it' excellent guide and now I am well and truelly stuck!?

I remember this happening to me when I installed a new hd in my G4.
Well, I think you'll simply have to format the drive before installing the Mac OS X. To do so proceed to the step where you obviously arrived already (pick a hd to install Mac OS X..). Go to disk utility in the menu on top of the screen. Here you can format the new drive (HFS+ journaled).
Once done you can close disk utility and should be able to choose that drive to have the OS installed on it.
Good luck on that
PS: I remember that day. it really gave me the creeps. After a sweaty hour of opening the mac, swapping the drive and carefully closing it and then getting such a mean "error" message.. but in the end it was all fine - and so should you be.

Many thanks!
