ok, one trick that I found to work, is to start another install, and when
diskdruid is open, delete all partions, then exit, saving the partition info
to the partition table. DOS' FDISK can not access a Linux/UNIX partition,
let alone delete it. Fdisk is a rather old program and has not been upgraded
properly over the years, except to do what MS wants it to do
