[Bug 1727506] [NEW] Delete whole disk, disk choice missing

Public bug reported:

I have a serious issue with the 17.10 installer.
Very early in the installation process the installer 
asks which installation destination to use.
There you can choose use whole disk, with a warning all data lost!
If you have multiple disks in your system, would you choose this option?
I did not because I feared that this crappy software destroys the wrong disk.

After unplugging my disks, reboot etc., I found out that there is a drop 
down to choose the disk, in the next page of the wizard. 
THIS IS TO LATE!

Please put this drop down where you ask for a decision to delete a disk.
