There is no pleasing you. No matter what the 
answer you say but- "what if?'
You're shown that the warning is there. Then you 
ask why is it there.
The partitions that are going to be destroyed are 
the ones that you are going to repartition.
If its the whole disk its the whole disk. If its 
the free space its the free space. If you do it 
manually its the ones you pick. No you cannot use 
the same partition for two different OS's.
Of course if you say okay you might want to warn 
your neighbors that they will have to shut their 
computers down so it won't destroy their data.
And by the way give me a screen shot to prove that 
it won't.
