Partition SSD OCZ Vertex 2

[PyroboyUK]

Hello,

I have recently purchased and fitted an OCZ SSD as a small upgrade to my pc. It seems i am a little out of touch with the computer world as im struggling to find answers that make sense to me on my current issue.

At this time I am trying to install Windows Vista 64 as an operating system but I would also like to partition the hard drive so that i can also install Linux as an OS too.

Maybe i have missed the obvious out but i cannot find any options when installing Vista so that i can partition my SSD.

Can anyone shed any light on the subject to get me going? I have tried a vista install multiple times, but at no point will it let me partition the SSD.

It starts at:

Now it's time to select the type of installation. Upgrade or Custom are the choices, but as you can see in this case Custom is the only option. There are two items of note. The first is under Custom where it states you can use this option to make changes to the disks and partitions. This is true to a point. You can create and delete partitions and resize a partition using the 'Extend' command. The second item of note is if you want to 'Upgrade'. you need to start the installation from inside Windows.
