It can't just install to the disk chosen to install Ubuntu to since in a dual disk situation, the system still boots from the first disk. I believe the issue of the usb stick being detected as sda instead of the first hard disk was fixed some time ago, but precise is ancient and you should not be putting into new systems. Please try with 14.04.
