okay, so I click on Disk 0 Partition 3 with a total size of 136.5 GB and the same amount of free space. Doesn't that mean I formatted it correctly?

Disk 0 Partition 2 has a Total Size of 10.0 GB and 9.9 GB of free space. So I assume that it is partition 3 that I need to install on?

I click on Drive options (advanced)

There are options for Delete, Format, New, and Extend (though New and Extend are not clickable).

I click on Format. Message comes up saying: If you format this partition, all data stored on it will be permanently deleted.

click OK.

then I click Next.

And it goes to Installing Windows Screen and begins Copying Windows, but while still at 0% it comes up with a page that says "The installation was canceled. Any changes that were made to your computer during the installation process will not be saved. and an error message:

"Windows Setup could not reinitialize the deployment engine. To install Windows, restart the installation."

That's where I'm at with everything so far and for now I'm leaving it on this screen with this message still up. Not looking good I think.
