    That indicates that drive has S.M.A.R.T. errors, that is a hardware fault, not software and the drive is either failing or has failed, that drive needs to be replaced.

    At the very start of the installation process, press Shift + F10, or Shift + Fn + F10 to open Command Prompt

    Run this command and hit Enter:

    diskpart

    Run this command and hit Enter:

    list disk

    (Your need to be very careful with this step, make note of the disk number you want to convert and enter it into the next command - replace X)

    Run this command and hit Enter:

    select disk X

    Run this command and hit Enter:

    clean

    Run this command and hit Enter:

    convert gpt

    Then close Command Prompt

    Then start the installation process again.

    i press to delete it but nothing seems to change once the deletion is complete, also there is a warning sign and it says "windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk is of the gpt partition style"

    Did you delete that partition and did the partition change to Unallocated Space and if you select that space can you click Next?
