tried installing using wubi, CD and usb. Only the wubi and the cd was able to boot, but then a message popped up while verifying, failed to partition the selected disk and no root file system. I want my pc to be just Ubuntu. Any help is appreciated.

Please provide more details - what version are you trying to install, where did you get the .iso image, at what stage the message popped up? – Muzaffar Jan 24 '15 at 16:09

Your problem is this: [Wubi with 14.10 doesn't work - failed to partition the selected disk](http://askubuntu.com/questions/547015/wubi-with-14-10-doesnt-work-failed-to-partition-the-selected-disk) But Wubi won't give you what you want (just Ubuntu). So consider this: [How do I install Ubuntu?](http://askubuntu.com/questions/6328/how-do-i-install-ubuntu) – bcbc Jan 24 '15 at 20:43

WUBI doesn't work with Windows 8, and s not recommended anymore (what version of Ubuntu did you install with it anyway? I don't think it's available in the current versions), so don't use that, especially if you want to erase all other OS's (like windows) and leave only Ubuntu.
