sql server new users : SQL Server 2005: Changing default database folder during install

Hi,

I wish to change the location of the database files during
installation to another array/partition. How do I do this? I can't
seem to change the data directory like I could in 2000.

This would also be useful for a SQL Server Express install I am doing.

Thanks.
Andrew.

Thanks - I got this sorted by expanding the relevant option in the
installation selection window. I saw someone had replied to this on
Google groups, it didn't make it to my news server unfortunately :(.
