where do i drop my PreDeploy.ps1

I've read the documentation but I can't figure out where the "root of the nuget feed" is exactly. I'm not that familiar with nuget.

I've used the default installations for deployment manager. Can you give me an example of where i would drop by "predeploy.ps1" file? Thanks.

You can think of a nuget package as a little like a zip file- it's basically a container.

As for your powershell file; it would be helpful to know how you're creating your nuget package, and the type of application you're packaging up.

I'm using the deployment manager add-in for visual studio 2012

The type of project is a asp.net web application

OK, so you should be fine to add your .ps1 script to your solution, set the build action as 'Content'. Then, when you run the packaging add-in your script should be correctly included.

Where exactly do I add my script

In Visual Studio, just add a new file to your project. It's probably easier to create "PreDeploy.ps1" using Notepad, drop it into your project folder, and then in VS, right click your project, select "Add", then "Existing Item", and pick the file.
Ensure the build action on the properties is "Content" and then when you run the packaging tool, it'll be included.
