    You need to boot the installer before it will make the Custom install Drive Options available.

    Gadwin PrintScreen is an easy to use utility that allows you to capture any portion of the screen, save it to a file, copy it to Windows clipboard, print it or e-mail it to a recipient of your choice.

    Or Windows built in Snipping Tool.

    I'm asking out of curiosity, but given that Windows 7 includes a screenshot utility that works perfectly for posting images on this forum, why would any 3rd party app be needed? What features does it have that aren't present in the Snipping Tool?

    You don't need a separate partition for that, especially one located before your system volume. I'm a big fan of not over-partitioning a drive.
