Typically you have to go full custom and assuming home is on a VG with free space you would then have to create a LV and define a fs on it, and assigned it as root (/). Similar would have to be done with /boot outside of LVM and if efi would you also need a /boot/efi again outside of LVM. No harddisk means no harddisk with free space(unpartitioned). If partitions are unused then you would have to assign them and/or rework them. What does the /home directory/disk look like? (partition table, lvm setup (if lvm)?)
