Will I be able to choose partition where Win 8 Preview is installed?

Question

I don't want my current Win 7 partition to be modified and already created a new partition for Win 8 Beta. I interrupted the installation of Win8 because I didn't see the option for choosing partition during the first few screens.

Could someone who went further let me know if there is option to choose partition? I am using a 32-bit machine which is currently multiboot XP and Win 7. Thanks.

Answer 1

You can chose so by booting from CDDVD / USB. You can't choose this however if you just install from windows7.
Keep in mind you'll have to free up some space on an extra partition to install windows8, with a minimum of 20gb space.
