You can format the partition using an *buntu installation CD/USB, or any other CD/USB that has Gparted, or other software able to identify Linux partitions. As for the MBR, it's probably OK to just leave it be, though you could overwrite it as well with dd. Just be sure to select the correct device. Be careful with this one!
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1
