Alternatively when you get to the screen where there is no disk visible press shift + F10. This will bring up a command prompt box. You can then type the following:

  • diskpart
  • list disk
  • select disk x (where x is the disk you want to install to, probably 0)
  • clean
  • convert gpt
  • exit
You can then refresh the list of disks and carry on with the install.
