This historically happened with the ubuntu installer (ubiquity) if "parted" returns errors (both normal and wubi installs). Seen it before when there is leftover GPT data on a MBR formatted disk. Try booting from the USB and going to a terminal (or hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 during the installation) and run:
sudo parted -l and sudo fdisk -l See what errors you get (PS those are lower case L's). If it complains about GPT data on a MBR formatted disk or returns other errors, then you'll need to clean them up before the installer will let you continue. There's a possibility this is something new but I'd rule the above out first.
