Windows XP will nuke Ubuntu when you try to install it. Just make sure you have backups in an external disk of all your important files, then start the installation. The steps after that you should ask in Super User.

Simply install your OS of choice over Ubuntu, however, if you are not installing another os, here is how to nuke Ubuntu: (given that it is installed on /dev/sda)

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
