So you want a empty drive, so you can do a clean install of windows?

Yes pretty much.

1) unplug all drives expect the one you want windows on

 

2) when you get to that screen again, delete everything possible, you will be left with one "unallocated space" you cant delete

 

3) select that and install

You can open CMD in that by pressing SHIFT + F10 (Or CTRL + F10) 

 

Go to cmd prompt, type

>diskpart

>list disk

>select disk [disk #]

>list disk // make sure correct disk is selected

>clean

 

Then Format it with the format button

That might work?
