Windows 10 Trying to install windows 10 on my desktop with new hard drive.

[DanielWeispfenning]

I'm usually not the type of person to ask questions on this type of forum, but I've run out of options. I apparently had a pretty bad hard drive failure on my old hard-drive (used it for like 3 years was a solid seagate hdd) so I went ahead and bough a new ssd and hdd. I plugged them in using the sata connectors, and set them up in my desktop. I'm trying to go ahead and install windows using a flash drive created with the media creation tool, but am having trouble once I get to the windows setup step where it asks "where do you want to install windows." When I boot in uefi mode, it works perfectly, I get to the installing windows step, and it does all of the things. 1. copying windows files. 2. getting files ready for installation. 3 installing features. etc. After this, I get a message saying windows needs to restart to continue. the computer restarts, and i am prompted to do the whole process again. The second time around, when i get to where do you want to install windows, i get a myriad of messages essentially saying my hard drive is formated wrong, along with a lot of other messages depending on what i do (trying to make different partitions, converting to mbr, etc.). I also tried booting in legacy mode, and there it just reports that windows can't be installed on drive 0 partition 1. (it doesn't even work once and then do the restart thing).

I've set all my settings in the bios to default. I saw something online about a raid (or raith) thing I might have to do. Does anybody have any ideas what might be happening?

Thanks in advance!
