I am not sure why that should be. The screen to Install or upgrade
should appear before you are asked to choose storage devices. There is
an error inn the Quick Start Guide which has the screen after you decide
on the storage reconfiguration but that makes no sense. If you upgrade
you would keep the same partitions.
