you have to initialize the drive FIRST.. which removes everything on it. 
That's the dilemma, I can't get to the custom screen without initializing the 
drive.. If you select NOT to initialize ( ignore) it says there is no 
partitions to put it on. I've done custom partitioning for RHEL, but it won't 
get past that initialize screen.
