Have you clicked on that partition and hit delete? It should re-name itself to Unallocated Space, then you'll highlight that space, and hit "new".

Is that 232GB drive the 970 you're trying to install to?

What error?

Make sure you've gone into your BIOS and selected the proper new drive as the 1st boot device. If that doesn't work, try removing the old drive from the PC all-together, and booting up with just the new drive and see if it initializes the new windows install.
