This might be a good solution to this request.

The create "New" partition menu would always be available.

There would be three scenarios to handle:

A)  If the user had pre-selected unallocated space.
     In this case the usual dialog for creating a new partition would be 
displayed.

B)  If a user had pre-selected a formatted partition.
     In this case we have some options:
       i)  the user could be warned by a dialog to select unallocated space 
only (I prefer this option)
       ii) the user could be prompted with a dialog to format the existing 
partition and lose the data

C)  If the user had pre-selected neither unallocated space, nor a formatted 
partition. 
     In this case the user could be prompted with dialog to select unallocated 
space.

Does the above sound reasonable, or is there perhaps a better way to
address this?
