i got this friend who's having a problem updating from 10.1 to 10.1.5 wth the combp updater.
When he tried to run it, it said he needed the installer update, so he downloaded that, and ran that, but at the place where you select the destination drive (Macintosh HD), its greyed out (transparent), He had 18 gigs of free space, and we can't figure out this problem.
I'd also note that he isn't really super savvy with his computer, oh, and its an iBook.

Sounds like you aren't the only one with this problem:

However, it seems you have to run some updates in a specific order (Security Updates, etc.) for a drive to become available...

Argh, some of the 10.1 updates did do this. It was very annoying.
I know this probably isn't the perfect solution, but you can force the install with Pacifist (link in my sig).

well it was a security file after al we had to install, now he's downloading the 10.1 _> 10.1.5 updater, and there are "errors in downloading" he says.
UPDATE: He rebooted and tryed again, and it WORKED.
Thanks for the help y'all, much appreciated.
