You didn't create a partition after "clean"! (create partition primary)

So now do:
Code:
diskpart
select disk 0
create partition primary
format fs=ntfs quick

Disk has already been "cleaned". It looks like you want to use 1 partition which will use all the space on the physical drive.

Post results (only errors)

Burn the ISO. Just burn it on a healthy machine. Boot the sick machine from that DVD.

X drive is the ramdrive (loaded form install DVD). Document and other folders?????? You did "clean" the internal drive so they must be gone forever!
