Windows 10: We couldn't install Windows in the location you chose: 0x80300024

After many (I mean many) failed attempts to install 1709 over the last week, I decided to do a clean install.

Bad luck... also that failed.

Can't do a clean install - tried various times.

My last attempt was to (again) boot from USB (with 1709),
then do : diskpart clean
Reboot
select drive
format
then [next]

"We couldn't install Windows in the location you chose. Please check your media drive. Here's moreinfo about what happened: 0x80300024"

Is there another solution rather than having to detach all the drives (many), being a complex job as the connectors are difficult to be reached. Microsoft can't expect users to detach the hardware...



the drive is a SSD

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Delete the partition on drive 1, then highlight the unallocated space that will be on drive, then click next.
