Recommend you disconnect drive 1 or disable the port in UEFI/BIOS before installing Windows.
Has drive 2 been used for Windows before? If drive 2 has only 2 partitions as shown, select partition 2, click on Delete, confirm delete partition - it then becomes free space.
Select partition 1 and click on delete, confirm delete - entire drive is now free space.
You could then continue from there by selecting the free space and clicking on continue.
If it will not continue, select the free space, click on new and create a new partition on the entire drive, then format NTFS and continue the install.
