It will allow you to select the partition or which hard drive you want to install it on.

If you install 8.0 make sure you designate a user account when it asks for it or your won't be able to access the system on boot-up. You can't bypass it assuming that the root password you assign is enough. I learned the hard way. Mandrake on the other hand will allow you to skip that assignment if you decide to migrate to it.
As previously mentioned the program will allow you to assign the partition you want so you don't have to worry about that.
