Hello KV2808,


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.


It sounds like your disk isn't appearing when you attempt to reinstall macOS. We'll be glad to assist.


Try restarting in recovery mode. Press and hold Command R keys immediately after pressing the power button. You'll see the utilities window. Select Disk Utility, and verify the volume appears. More information is here: How to repair a Mac disk with Disk Utility


Please repair or run First Aid on your drives to verify they're properly mounted.


Try installing again.


Take care!
