Have you booted from the ubuntu live cd?

If you want to get rid of everything that you have on that computer I would suggest making a ISO disk of a program called, "Dariks Boot and Nuke".

This is extremely helpful if you are trying to do a clean install of another OS.

You can run this program from a USB.
Just follow the directions here.

Keep in mind this is a very powerful program and it is recommended you use backup anything either on a external HDD or another computer.
