Hi:

 

1. From inside Windows Setup, press Shift+F10 to open a command prompt window.
2. Type Diskpart and press the enter key.
3..Type List disk  Will show the hard drive and your Windows installation media.

The hard drive should be Disk 0
4. Type select disk 0
5. Type Clean
6. Close the command prompt window.
7. Continue the Windows Setup installation.

It's not the only solution.

 

The steps I posted will work just fine.

 

I have done it many times myself.
