I suggest that if there are already four primary partitions, clicking the button to add a new partition should open an error alert with: * primary text 'Sorry, adding another partition to this disk isn’t possible when it has four “primary partitions”.' * secondary text "If you delete any of the primary partitions, you can then add as many partitions as you wish." * five radio buttons, the first to "Leave all partitions as they are", then one each to "Delete ____" one of the primary partitions. * "Cancel" and "Delete" buttons, where the "Delete" button is insensitive when "Leave all partitions as they are" is selected.
