Of course there is.
In general, the partitioner can just use your existing partitions. If
for some reason, you've partitioned your existing partitions in a way
that it is unable to figure out, then you can just
1) use expert mode
2) skip the partitioner entirely
3) mount your partitions directly on /target,
4) continue with the install selecting the remaining steps manually in
order without rerunning the partitioner.
If you're still having trouble, the actual logs will be more helpful.
