I get a blank 'Install - Installation Type' screen.
If the installer's partitioning program does not "see" that Windows partitions are on the drive when you try again, cancel the installation and see this tutorial: HowTo: Use Fixparts. In your case, your drive is definitely using MBR partitions so you can skip over the warning at the beginning of tutorial and go straight to "Now you're ready to begin the fix".
