Yes, you must choose for a partition the mount point "root" ===> /
Just select "the old Linux partition and clicked format" is not enough...
If you want you can also choose for another partition another mount point, e.g /home
About the file system type, I would advise you to choose between ext3 (it was supposed to be the "native" Linux filesystem) or JFS

Ext3 is probably the most durable. When you are setting the partition type, there is a drop down menu just below that that should say something like "Mount" or "Mount Point". The symbol for root is "/" (without the quotations). Just type / into that to make it use the partition for your whole filesystem. It will automatically use any existing swap partition as swap.
