That should be part of the install process....

At some point you should be asked what partition structure you want to create....partition sizes....filesystem type etc.

Did you burn the ISO correctly?
Did you set your bios to boot from the cd-rom first?

You should have burned the distribution .iso to create a bootable CD - stick that in the cdrom and reboot the PC and the install process should start.
