also make sure only one drive (the one you are installing to) is connected to the PC

yes i did it also says drive 0 partition 3 has 450 mbs and its type is oem reserved what does that mean?

how do i do that?

like the picture above, the disk that you will install windows might have

Disk X partition 0

Disk X partition 1

Disk X partition 2(recovery)

Disk X partition 3 (oem reserved)

DIsk T partition 0

DIsk T partition 1

For disk X dont format the volumes 0-3, use the delete buttons

So no more help needed here?

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!
