#MAC OS DISK UTILITY NOT SHOWING MAIN HARD DRIVE INSTALL#

I booted into internet recovery and attempted to re-install OS X El Capitan, however going through the prompts I reach a dead end where it asks me to "Select the disk where you want to install OS X". This raises some red flags, as her internal 256 GB hard drive is nowhere to be found in disk utility. I booted to recovery and checked out Disk Utility, where the only disk listed is the 2 GB OS X Base System underneath the Apple disk image.

I made sure her keyboard layout isn't Dvorak or some other language, it is indeed U.S and her regular password does not work anymore on login (if it gets there without the prohibition sign/flashing folder) She does not care about backing up local data and she does not have a time machine recovery. But most times it goes to the login screen (with her profile picture), and entering her password does not work. Restarting also occasionally yields a flashing folder with a question mark, or a prohibition symbol. I confirmed this by coming over and trying myself. She called me the other night claiming the battery died and her macbook crashed, and when she restarted and went to login, her normal password stopped working at login. I am attempting to do a fresh re-install of El Capitan on my girlfriend's MacBook.
