How Do I...

When I attempt to install Windows Vista, it picks the drive to install into.
How do I manually choose where to put it?

If you start the install while running in XP it will permit you to choose
Vista install location.

Try a boot manager. Afew people here have recommended VistaBootPro, although
I personally have not used it.

Are you using Beta 2? When I installed it, there was some kind of advanced or
custom install option (can't remember exactly) that allowed me to choose the
partition as well as create partitions.

It allows you to delete and create partitions. Choosing the partition is
done in the target window.
