Unplug all drives apart from the SSD. Then all partitions should belong to the same storage device.

OP, do this.

 

the drive0 is all different partitions on your SSD.

unplug your HDDs, then restart the installation, when you get back to that screen simply delete all the partitions on the SSD (drive0) and then start the install process.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.
