During the Windows install when it gets to the part where it asks where you want to install Windows you need to select the partition you created and then select Format.
Did you try that?
You can create the partition in OSX but it still needs to be formatted in Windows.
After the partition is formatted you should then be able to select it and the installation process should proceed from there.
And don't even plug in the USB with the drivers until the install has completed.
Only then should you plug it in and install the software you downloaded.

Here's a pretty crappy video but you can see around the 2:00 minute mark that he selects the bootcamp partition and then clicks down below to bring up more options and then selects Format.
