7. After selecting the Custom option will appear to install a partition for Windows 7. As the description above, as the assumption that Drive D is the fox with a drive letter D Just choose the 2nd partition is empty with the NTFS format. 

Note, Windows 7 could only be installed to the NTFS partition, but can not install to a FAT partition. Clik on the partition you want to store the OS Windows 7, for instance on the partition D. The next process running as usual, until the install is complete and Windows 7 asking simple questions such as choice of keyboard and country areas.
