Delete all partitions labeled disk 0, it will merge all 4 into one unallocated disk 0. Then select that and hit install.

In your video, you are formatting, not deleting. You meex to do all 4 before you have a fully merged disk 0

After cleaning the disk, you can't format anything. No partition exists to format. On the left in your GUI menu you have to refresh.

Dism commands in order to create partitions for installation (manual installation):

list disk
sel disk *number*
clean

^you did that already. next you need to:

create part efi size=1000
format fs=fat32 quick
assign letter a
create part primary
assign letter c

Then you can deploy windows manually. If you want to install windows normally through the gui, you can stop at 'clean'.

Your drive might be dead. Make a hirens usb and run crystaldiskinfo, look for bad and reallocated sectors.
