[Impact]
cannot erase the disk when no partition table is present

[Test Case]
cat /dev/zero >> /dev/sdX to erase the partition table (you can ctrl-c immediately, it's enough that the first bits are erased)

[Regression Potential]
Should not affect negatively the normal use case (=usb stick with partition table, one partition vfat formatted).
