The point is, the Win 7 installer will not create all the partitions you want at the very beginning of the process. It will only create ONE partition in which it installs itself. So you set that one up to the size you want and do your installation. AFTER Win 7 is working, you can use its Disk Manager tool to create and Format the remaining Partitions you want out of the Unallocated Space on the drive.

Go ahead and install Win7 and use the built in partition editor to build your other partitions.

 

Follow this guide.
