Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error 0×80300001 - December 10, 2009

My plans to install Windows 7 on an empty partition hit a snag when I got this error. I have a Promise RAID card and had just finished installing the drivers for it in order to proceed with the Windows 7 installation. This 0×80300001 error wouldn’t let me select ANY partition though. It turns out this is the Windows 7 way of saying “take the drivers CD-ROM out of the drive and put the Windows 7 installation DVD back in”.
