Attaching a couple of screenshots to better explain.

install

gparted

So in the 1st screen, I can't click anything. New partition table is disabled, so are the rest of the buttons. Clicking install, results in an error.

In the 2nd screen you can see that I don't have any option to set a mount point for my newly created partition. Also if I use GParted to create my partitions, the installer doesn't see any of them.

Any ideas how I can install Ubuntu? I had no problems installing it on a different machine. Also I think the HDD was running a windows before without any problems.

Updated the questions with the result of fdisk -l:
