Please be more specific. Give what step number you are at and any error
messages it spits out.

If you decide that Ubuntu is not for you, I recommend you just use
something like gparted ( http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php ) to
shrink the partition with Ubuntu on it down to zero size. As with all
partition operations, make sure everything is backed up before you do
anything.
