You can manually prepare your hard drive:
BIG NOTE: This formats your whole hard drive, don't do this if you haven't backed up your data!
Boot the Windows Installer.
at the first installer screen press shift + F10 to take you to command prompt where you can run diskpart commands
type: diskpart - press ente (to enter diskpart)
type: list disk - press enter (list all connected HDDs)
type: select disk 0 - press enter (assuming disk 0 is the desired disk)
type: clean all - press enter (which will erase entire disk including partitions)
type: create partition primary - press enter (which will make one new primary partition the size of the disk)
type: format fs=ntfs - press enter (which will format the partition with ntfs structure)
type: active - press enter (to mark partition active so boot files can be placed on it)
type: exit - press enter (exit diskpart)
type exit - press enter (exit command prompt)
Continue the Installation.
