[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi all,

Whilst testing the graphical installer, I selected ‘guided 
partitioning’ and pressed ENTER on the main drive (sda) to see 
what that does.

What that does is immediately and without confirmation wipe the 
on-disc partition table.  And its back-up.

Testdisk is great,

T G-R
