Give this a try.
Boot from the DVD, choose ‘Press any key to boot from CD/DVD’ and the install sequence is Loading files, a ‘Starting Windows’ message appears and you type your Language, Time/Currency and Keyboard. Click Install now. Click to accept the License and click Custom for a clean install. It’s now that you can delete/create/format partitions by clicking 'Drive Options Advanced'.
