    Use cd or usb boot to format. I believe Ubuntu has format software on it.

    yeah just go to ubuntu.com (pretty sure) and download the installation and burn to disc. With disc in drive, restart PC, select boot options on start up. Then boot from disk. That will load the LiveCD of Ubuntu. It's pretty self explanatory from there.

    Good luck.

    Ubutu OS CDs let you do that if you want to. They have a built in partitioner that runs during setup in which you can do that.
