I removed the hard drive and plugged it into my working PC - with a usb to 2.5 sata adapter.
Start > Run > cmd > right click "As Administrator" ...
diskpart (enter)... list disk (enter) ... select disk #__ (Verify you have the right one! Look at the size and MAKE SURE you have the right DISK!) ... (enter) ... clean (enter) ... create part pri (enter) ... select part 1 (enter) ... format fs=ntfs quick
Put the hard drive back into the original PC and was able to successfully install Windows 10
