Now you need to decide on a drive to install

Be careful with this step otherwise you may erase the wrong drive and lose your data!

As you notice there are two types. There is Drive #. and Partition #. 

For example if you see Drive 0: Partition 1 and Drive 0:  Partition 2. That just means they are both "drive 0" divided into two parts. First you must figure out which drive# you want to install windows to. See below.

Choosing a drive to install windows on.

Lets say you want to install a fresh windows on drive #4. I use #4 (OCZ SSD) as an example here. The drive # you want to install to might be different.

Now you would need to delete all partitions on drive #4 until you only see one "Drive #4: Unallocated Space"

Now you select that drive #4: Unallocated Space. And click New and when asked for Size just click Apply.

After this step you should see 4 partitions of drive #4.

You want to select the biggest partition belonging to drive #4. Usually, this biggest one is drive 4 partition 4 by default. After that press Format. It should still select the same drive with the biggest partition size. Just press next.
