Couldn't we just ask the user if he really wants to continue if the
partition settings haven't been applied yet? Something like "You
haven't applies your partition setrtings yet. Do you really want to
continue?" and present three choices: "Go back", "Apply setting and
continue", "discard settings and continue".
