Installing LinuxLite 2.0 on a fresh harddrive - T1125P - 06-22-2014

Hi, all new to this forum, but I had LinuxLite 1.0.6 for a while now and I love it. Now I want to install 2.0 on my Netbook. So what I did was take out my harddrive from my netbook its a 360GB SSD, and plugged it into my PC and formatted it using Windows 7 disk management to fully erase it. Now it's NTFS. So the problem now is, when I put my harddrive back in my netbook, used the liveusb to install 2.0 it gives me the error unknown filesystem. The drive is completely erased, is there a way maybe I have to format it to ext4 in Windows using a program that will let me?  :-\ All I want is LinuxLite on my netbook as the sole OS nothing else.

Thanks all  Smile

Ok update: I have figured it out. All I did was put my SSD back in my harddrive dokker then delete the partition in windows and left it like that. Installed the SSD drive back in my netbook. I then set the harddrive to disabled in the BIOS. Then it installed fine from the USB stick. Rebooted enabled the harddrive in the BIOS and it works Big Grin
