You want a cleared drive formatted to Fat32 or Ext4...
Reboot and install works as expected.  :-)

I always select the option of "Erase the whole drive and install Ubuntu"....

Yes..I did that over and over again on a thin client with UEFI and Snakeoil install failed every time.
Finally I installed Win7 and at the drive allocation prompt I deleted all partitions (including the reserved and UEFI boot) then rebooted and was able to install Snakeoil.
