This happened to me when i tried to install Ubuntu from CD/DVD (standard install)  on HP - pavilion laptop with already 4 primary partitions. 
Not all but laptops sometimes comes with windows pre-installed (2 primary partitions for windows)  and 2 extra partitions , 1 for recovery and one is tools (HP-TOOLS in my example).
In this situation when you run ubuntu installer you haven't  option for "Alongside windows" . This option does not exist. 
The first option (instead "Alongside windows") is "inside windows" . Inside windows means something like wubi. 
This change happen cause ubuntu installer does not have the ability to create another partition.

To reproduce this , you must try to install Ubuntu (standard install) to
a laptop with already 4 primary partitions (pre-partitioning laptop from
company).

Maybe i didn't explain the situation clearly  (my English knowledge is
responsible for that.. sorry)

When you do a wubi install you haven't any problems cause wubi don't
need partitioning .
