guided whole disk without seprate home folder

It asked me to have at least one partition with the / mount and when I put it it just did not recognize the /

I had problem afterwards when needed to recover the MacosX - the recovery did not recognize the disk.
MacOS offers a Disk Utility so i fiddled around with somethings there and finally managed to make the disk seen and re installed MacOSX
