Welcome to the forum,

You want to choose custom,

Here's a great tutorial to walk you through it,

Clean Install Windows 7

thanks, but what about all the..........the windows frame that pops up and says (refresh-delete-format-load driver-extend) at bottom, or do i just push next? what about partitions and all the rest of the stuff that pops up asking me to change or leave something.

Custom install. And do not put a password on. It is useless unless you want to protect it from the people in your house.
