Well, yep, the latter is the problem. :)  Selecting ``NO'' is not
supposed to undo the A)ll, but it's supposed to not even write a fdisk
table to the disk that could be used by other operating systems on the
same disk (``dangerously dedicated mode'').

To undo the A)ll selection, simply go back to the partition editor,
and select its undo menu item (i think it's `U', but i'm not sure).

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
