There should be a windows key on the bottom of the laptop. Download a copy of windows of the internet and burn it to a disk. Then boot the os from the disk and you should be able to do a full reformat.

If you put Ubuntu on, you may have erased the recovery section/option of the hard srive.
You ll need to follow Krishna's directions. this will give toy a clean install, but without any Acer programs.
