Uninstall/Remove Vista and Ubuntu

[Skol312000]

I want to delete both of them completely wipe the computer of all data, then i want to install Ubuntu from a cd again and let it use all of the hard drive and ram memory and everything. I want Ubuntu to be the main and only OS running my computer, but i want to uninstall Windows Vista and Ubuntu before i reinstall Ubuntu. Could you guys please help me to understand how this is done?

You can do that when you install from your CD. Just tell it to utilize the whole drive.

Stick your ubuntu cd into the cd drive, then reboot (turn the computer off then back on). Select the option to install to hard drive. Follow the options, then select the option to "use the whole disk". The installer will write over the old operating systems, and your new ubuntu install will be over the entire hard drive.

Well, gparted is pretty easy to use. You can download it and burn it to a CD, put it in and reboot.
Use it to reformat the whole drive, then reinstall Ubunto.
I'm no expert, but I have used it a few times with no problems.

tOP explained it better than I did!
