First, you partition the drive using fdisk or whatever you want:

Then you reenter the paritioner, select the drive:

Then you tell it that you don't want to "do not use"

http://rzlab.ucr.edu/debian/partitioner_works/partioner_02.png

but you want to use it as ext4 (or whatever):

http://rzlab.ucr.edu/debian/partitioner_works/partioner_04.png

etc.

Then set a mount point:

Then write changes to disk:

http://rzlab.ucr.edu/debian/partitioner_works/partioner_06.png

Then it'll format and install the base system:

and then you're done.
