[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1099443, member: 176362"] Choosing custom brings up this screen where you can wipe the drive. This particular drive was empty, so there are no partitions or files to remove, but its pretty obvious what to do: [ATTACH type="full"]133126[/ATTACH] If the drive has existing data on it but you want a clean install just click on each listed partition in turn & click the delete option until it looks like the screenshot. Thats it - no formatting needed - the install will do what it needs during setup.
