I wanted to create a startup disk on the first partition of an external USB hard drive../dev/sdb1. Unfortunately by selecting /dev/sdb1 and clicking format, the whole drive sdb was formatted and not only the first partition.
I find this to be a serious bug since whole partitions of data are wiped (!). Fortunately there exist magic tools like testdisk..
