windows to ubuntu

windows to ubuntu

so i have an old windows vista laptop on which i decided to try ubuntu.
i thought i had got it right, but the windows OS is still there. i know it
works alright as it is, but i'd like a fresh start with my pc, without the
windows part. there is only one HDD in this computer, with both ubuntu and
windows. i noticed that after i installed ubuntu, my HDD seemed to have
split into two partitions (is this of any point?)
i wonder if i just format the HDD will i loose my ubuntu installation?
will it not be able to complete? will it not format the partitions?
should i just format the hole pc using a bootable usb-stick and then
install ubuntu likewise? if that's the case, is there an ISO file
somewhere that will do both or will i have to do this in two seperate
actions? like ... first making a bootable usb for formatting, and then
making an other one to install ubuntu (again)?
i have to problem to losse all that's on the hdd whatsoever. i just need a
fresh hdd with ubuntu, and the easiest way to do it ;P
thanks for reading and in advance, thanks for your help! :)
