If OS.X isn’t detecting a drive, it means that there’s no partition for OS.X to install to. Format the drive, and try to install again.

Good luck!

Erase the drive and Format the drive GUID, MacOSX extended (Journaled), then install your system. Since we don't know your exact model, we can't tell you your maximum system.
