New install, partition exists but can’t boot

Ashe_

So I am doing a clean install of windows, and I was able to select the drive to install to. I have already tested this drive, made sure it was an unallocated space, and made sure it displayed available. 

 

After beginning the installation process windows did it’s reboot session and then said there was an error and can not boot. Now i am looking in my bios and there is no drive listed as available boot drive. 

 

Im honestly lost, anyone have any ideas on what I can do?

can bios do a format? idk because i dont have a desktop.

I’m not sure, I can’t find the drive in bios at all and it’s the only one in the system. And displayed a few minutes ago and nothings been touched. 

 

It already had 2 partitions on it, 1 unallocated for installation and the other was a 6gb folder for the installation tool download
