These are the exact steps I took before I tried the "new" section as a last resort
1.unfortunately I only have a mac as another computer so I used terminal to install windows onto the usb stick (i tried 2 differnt usb sticks)
2. boot and chose Custom install ( = clean install)
3.deleted all partitions
4. hit next, and got the error "windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation"
