Any thoughts on this different layout?

* Disk->Initialize->EFI GUID Partition Map
 Disk->Eject

 Partition->Delete
 Partition->Mount
The disk system lists are auto-generated. It might not be trivial to discriminate between the disk system for the partition map and the one for the extended partition. That could be hard-coded, of course. 


Ahh.. yeah.  Just figured that out a little while ago.

Anyone know why this is disabled?

Mainly GetNextPartitioningSystem... seems like it would be useful. Maybe it is just broken, who knows. :)

Only problem left is not letting the user write a partition
table to a CD which causes DriveSetup to crash.
