What have you tried and has not worked? I'll outline some steps but
please elaborate on what you did.

- back up yo' shit
- grab the blag install media (dvd/cd/usb key...)
- put media in machine
- poweroff
- turn on and check that the box can install from the media in at the BIOS stage
- continue past bios to boot box
- if your media is ok then proceed with installation
- clean all existing partitions at the partitioning stage [0]
 - proceed with installation

I'll upload some screenshots to a server so that I can show you an
example of [0]

That make sense?
