I presume you are talking about this question: The next step *DESTROYS* all existing data on these partitions! Are you really sure that you're ready to proceed? [no] y This question was asked AFTER you had fdisk'd and disklabled your disk. By this point, the data had been already potentially destroyed, I thought this question quite silly, in that it implies data has been safe up to this point...no, it hasn't, you have potentially been destroying things all over the place.
