From that comments on that video:
"Simply the worst tutorial I have ever seen"

What exactly did you do? I'm not watching that whole thing, just to know that it told you to use the wrong formatting for the partition.
Or used the actual hard drive to attempt to create a bootable Win 10 install. Which is FAT32 formatting, which only creates a 32GB max partition.

I think that might be it and thanks for the quick response. Can you explain a bit more since im really bad at computers
 
That's something I have expected and USAFRet predicted. Your Disk0 ended with a unformatted and not initialized partition.
You can fix it from there. Right click on that first partition and delete it. Than you can initialize whole thing and format to NTFS.
Alternately, you can format both partitions to NTFS and join them if you want to.
You can do it also thru this program: http://www.pcdisk.com/
