When you get to the screen in the pic below, click the drop down box in front of 'mountpoint" and select "/" aka "root" just as the pic shows.

Sorry, I didn't know you were installing inside of windows. I don't know much about that.

w.ub.i (windows ubuntu install) is just for quick try, is not meant for real or permanent use.

you should try other means of install, like live-cd.

The beta-1 isn't working for Wubi. Beta-2 (when it comes out) or the current daily images for 11.04 will work. Beta's aren't a good idea if you're new to Ubuntu though.

The problem you're having is an issue with Ubiquity - I've seen other cases where there is fakeraid metadata present that confuses ubiquity or a mix of gpt and mbr partition table information.

Boot from the Ubuntu CD, select "Try it" and run the bootinfoscript (http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/) and post the results back here.
