recently I had tried to install ubuntu on my macbook, it went horribly wrong, so I've decided to do a fresh install of OS X, but I was wondering if I do reinstall, is it possible to erase the entire hard drive (partitions and all) when installing?
Got a tip for us?

Yes, you can erase the entire hard drive.
There is no need to reformat the entire hard drive, though. Just remove the Ubuntu partition using Disk Utility.
