When you're partitioning, the installer will keep the partitioning
type that is currently on a disk (GPT or MS-DOS). You can ask it to
write a new blank partition table by hitting <enter> on the raw disk
device. The default choice for the new partition table will depend on
whether you have booted the installer in UEFI (GPT) or legacy BIOS
(MS-DOS) mode. You can override the that choice, but depending on your
setup you *may* need to use expert mode to be asked the question about
which partition type to use.
