But if the user chooses an option, then the default should be to confirm
this option. Meaning if the user manually chooses to format their hard
drive, the default button should confirm this formatting. The default option
should not be to cancel what the user obviously wants to do. If they didn't
mean to choose format my hard drive, they will look for the cancel button,
not just hit return.
Thanks,
