The used cfdisk is very picky on partition tables. It will exit with error
messages very often. This breaks the 'normal' Installation mode The Script wont
recognized an already partitionated Harddisk. This will lead in a broken
reformating and especially data-loss without questioning.

In expert mode 'Partition a disk' will fail with a short Error Message. There
should be possibilieties tu run "cfdisk -z".

Greetings
Bernd
