You are using manual partitioning correct? You must highlight the Ubuntu partition, click change and select in the drop down boxes: Use as -> select filesystem (ext4 or ext3) Tick the format box and on mount point use the drop down box to select /

If you have a swap partition on use as select linux-swap. If you have a separate /home partition select filesystem in use as, if you have data on it already DO NOT tick the format box and on mount point select /home. Proceed with the install.

What are you talking about? The options are blocked, and it doesn't show my drives/partitions

It's known issue in Karmic (both x86 and x64), for some reason installer recognize disks as RAID array even it there ever wasn't any.

Unless you are actually using RAID, in which case don't remove it or you'll mess up your array.
There is different procedure to install ubuntu on RAID.
