You would have to delete the partition at install.
Or you could get a partition program, such as Partition Magic.

Go the HD manufacturers website. Some offer free utilites for this (creating partitions, lowlevel reformats etc.) For example if ur HD is a Maxtor get Maxblast. I like it so much I drag around my maxtor HD and put in my other rigs when I wanna LL format or create partitions.
