Mission: Try to install to a removeable disk with intention to be able to be booted on "any" computer. Problem: Diskdrake only lists the ESP when you boot in UEFI mode And only lists the BIOS boot partition only when you boot in legacy mode. Really, it should at least in expert mode list both always. With the myriad of ancient and exotic filesystems it lists in expert mode, there is no reason to hide two of the more common... While at it: Clicking button Type in main dialogue the filesystems are nicely listed alphabetically. But when selecting type when creating the partition it is a mess. Could instead the first mentioned selection list be used here too?

Workaround using GUI: First use gparted to clear the disk and create a FAT16 *) partition, format it and set esp flag. In diskdrake that is seen as "vfat" with 0xef partition type which is correct for ESP. *) running from 8RC Live, gparted do not support FAT12 and it set minimum size 16MB for FAT16, for FAT32 33MB.
