Same message box here, on Ubuntu Feisty installer but I don't have the 'go back' - option. Ignore and cancel only, I think I'll press cancel first.

Here's my partition table:

Disk /dev/sda: 30.0 GB, 30005821440 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3648 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 46 369463+ a0 IBM Thinkpad hibernation
/dev/sda2 * 47 699 5242880+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda3 700 3648 23687842+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 700 1352 5245191 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 1353 1483 1052226 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda7 1484 3648 17390331 83 Linux

It must be the hibernate partition that makes it fail. The installer recognizes it as FAT16 partition for some reason. I'll attach the logs requested above.
