In preparation for a Linux install, I used gParted to split my disk into two 
parts and created a logical partition on my laptop so that I could install 
Linux on the second partition.  The issue is, the installer gives the following 
three options:

1) use entire disk
2) set-up along side Windows 7
3) other (manual installation)

I don't want to use option one as it will erase my Win7.  I tried to use option 
2 but what happens is that the installer wants to shrink my Win7 partition 
instead of using the 2nd partition.  The only way to use my 2nd partition is 
for me to choose option three but then the installer expects me to manually 
setup the partitions.  

Has anyone had this issue?  Is there a way to force the installer to use the 
2nd partition?  Or do I have to Google on how to manually set up the partitions 
using the second half of the disk?
