This install say it cannot find any device to install on.

Seems a very reasonable response.
Where do you expect it to install Linux?

If you read all of his responses, he notes that it can't find the device. Creating free space on a device the installer doesn't see won't help, will it? If it sees the device he can select "custom install" and blow away the NTFS partition, assuming that he wants to do that, of course. If the drive is just not seen, as he said in <72243B95A064954F8300C07E67F8EFDB0450DD5C@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, then he has another problem.
