What happens if I delete dmraid?

I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS from a live-USB and have it run alongside my Windows 7 installation.
On the installation screen for Ubuntu, at the partition page, I get this error:
No root file system is defined.
Please correct this from the partitioning menu.
However on this page, nothing is clickable and it doesn't show any partitions.
I looked it up and I found a possible solution is to type in the Linux terminal:
sudo apt-get remove dmraid
I am wondering what the repercussions are of deleting dmraid and if it will do anything disastrous to my Windows boot.
And if deleting dmraid isn't a smart idea, are there any other suggestions on what I should do?
BTW I am on an Acer S5-391 and I think it has a RAID 0 SSD configuration.

How are you installing Ubuntu? From within Windows or by booting from the live CD/USB?

Well,apt-get removesimply uninstalls (Linux) programs so it won't affect your Windows install in any way. I have no idea if it will help you or if it is a good idea though.

Try 13.10 just to see if it can handle it better. You'd probably update in April (14.04 LTS) either way. If that doesn't work either, providefdisk -l,ls /dev/mapper,cat /proc/partitions,dmraid -s -sor similar so we can get a better idea of your configuration.

Well,
apt-get remove simply uninstalls (Linux) programs so it won't affect your Windows install in any way. I have no idea if it will help you or if it is a good idea though.– terdon♦
