Wait a minute, this machine you are trying to upgrade has a fusion drive?

You do know that means there are two drives in it, an ssd and a plain old
mechanical one.

If so (and I don't know if the ssd is soldered in), what I'd do at this
point is just disconnect the mechanical one, boot the machine into command-r
and use the disk utility in it to wipe and re-format the ssd.

You can control (create/destroy) the fusion drive from the command line.
Bunch of how to's around like this one:

That is if the machine still boots at this point using the old hardware.

But really, are you sure it has a fusion drive in it?
