1. Download and burn a Gparted ISO from here:
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
2. Boot from the Gparted disk.
3. Use Gparted to delete all partitions on the hard drive.
4. Under “Device” choose Create Partition Table to make a new partition table.
5. Create a NTFS partition (or you could wait and create a partition when installing Windows).
6. Then boot from the Windows install disk and install Windows.

If you have formatted the drive already as you said, then there is no data on the drive to be concerned about losing. It's already gone.

pull the drive, use a data cable to transfer over your info to another computer first. I do not believe there is a way to do this without having to completely clean the drive. At least not a solution I have found. Either gparted or opening cmd and diskpart clean are the only two ways I have known to fix this error.
