I had this as well.

I had to format the 250gb ssd,switch off, unplug my 2x1tb ssd drives and leave my 250gb ssd in and then plug in the usb with windows on it and when it starts the install page click the format button again and then Install.

Worked for me

**Set the 250gb ssd to 1st in boot sequence before turn off**

Right the solution was to dload KILLDISK from another pc (a laptop) and burn a boot up copy of it onto a cd. Then I could see all my disks and just wiped them clean as I needed them - one swipe is enough so don't go buying a full copy unless your full of dark secrets or something heh.

Anyway, ta for all your help.

I've done it a hundred times, from the windows installer diskpart definitely works.

I run into this problem when building machines that have had disks used in previous systems.

For me pike, at the time it was not. I'm of know doubt it does work though and it was simply these ill programmed hands of mine that were doing something wrong. So ta Hondo, it's sorted now though.
