Was this a New HDD?
I came accross this when we purchased a pallet full of refurbished machines, and got the same message…because the HD wasn’t initialised.
I removed the drive, put it into an external caddy, used disk management to initialise the disk, put disk back into PC, re-tried with Fog, and it worked!
Alternatively you can use Diskpart or similar

i may be off the mark here, but just check
