Windows 10: NEED HELP DOING A CLEAN INSTALLATION OF WINDOWS FROM A USB DRIVE

I am trying to do with clean install of Windows from a USB drive where I use the media creation tool. In reading through the posts, I deleted all the partitions when it asked where I wanted to install windows. Now the only two partitions left say windows can't be installed in that partition. It also doesn't allow me to create a new partition. Can anyone please help? There is nothing on the computer that I want to save I just need a clean install of Windows 10. The product key should already be stored in the computer.The two partitions that are left arerive 0 partition 1: system reserved, 50.

And that's it, boot off your usb disk

 

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.

trying to install 7 w/o optical drive or USB drive (do have an external hdd)

This method is going to be trial/error on my part but here's my stab at it:

Use the guide he linked. Substitute in step 4, DO NOT FORMAT. Pre-format the hard drive with another PC/current windows install in NTFS format, then create 2 partitions. 1 to install from and one to install to. So in step 4 I beleive all you would have to do is a "clean" "select partition XX" & "active" command.

In step 5, use virtual CD/DVD software.

EDIT:

The only problem I see with above is how are you going to install while booting? Meaning, for it to boot wouldn't you have to be external but yet must install to an internal drive?
