You still haven't been able to confirm that the partition map is the correct "Apple Partition Map". I'm almost certain you're going to find out that you've got a HD that's formatted with Master Boot Record or GUID, and you're going to need to start over with a correctly formatted HD.
Open Disk Utility, highlight the HD (not a partition, the icon in the left-hand column for the entire HD) and then look in the bar at the bottom to the right under "Partition Map Scheme". It should say "Apple Partition Map" but likely says "Master Boot Record" instead? To fix, you'll need to reformat the HD using the Partition Tab and then change the Volume Scheme from "Current" to "1 Partition" and then use the "Options" button at the bottom to change the Partition Map Scheme to "Apple Partition Map". Now your OS X should install normally without the warning.
