While I was installing archlinux, I somehow hit Enter key 2 times which translate into auto partion harddrive and due to that silly mistake, I lot my windows partion, old version on arch linux, and data. I know it is silly mistake on my part but somebody else might do the same. Simply adding dialog box which defaults to do not auto partion harddrive will reduce chance of this mistake.
This task depends upon

When I first installed Arch (0.5), I hit more Enter key too (sg. was slow, and I think that it was frozen), but fortunately setup stopped before the auto-partition. As I saw that if I had hit one more Enter then my whole data would have been lost, I almost got heart attack:)
So I support dhadam's (who I feel sorrow for) advice. Or the auto-partition menupoint shouldn't be at the top of the menu.

Ack, that's no good. I'll have this changed for the next release.
