Are you still trying to run Linux? A Windows install may not be able to handle an Linux partition. You should be able to use Diskpart from the command prompt to clean the drive then install. Shift+F10 will bring up a command window early in the install attempt (second windows works)and then you can use Diskpart.

All you would need to do is select the disk and the clean the disk. Make sure you are looking at the correct drive.......!

Diskpart
list disk
select disk 0 <--- make sure correct drive from list
clean
exit

After that exit the command prompt and continue the install. If you do have problems, try refreshing the drive on the partitions page to make sure it has been read after the cleaning. This will remove everything on the drive........
