Ubuntu – get “No root file system is defined” when I try install in one partition

system-installation

I have 3 partitions on my computer.

+-----------+-------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|  Device   |  Type |   Size   |  Used   |                                                 Comments                                                 |
+-----------+-------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| /dev/sda1 | ntfs  | 104MB    | 35MB    | This is Windows loader                                                                                   |
| /dev/sda2 | ntfs  | 144598MB | 64536MB | Here I want to install UBUNTU                                                                            |
| /dev/sda3 | ntfs  | 105353MB | 20227MB | This my backup partition. I don't want to delete anything from here, I have all my necessary information |
+-----------+-------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

The problem is when I select "Device for boot loader installation" /dev/sda2.

I get:

No root file system is defined.
Please correct this from the partitioning menu.

How can I resolve this?

The complaining is that you have not defined which will be the "/" (= root partition).

Look at this image and pay attention at the "Mount Point":
