You don't need to remove Ubuntu prior to installing Mandriva.  Part of the Mandriva 
install routine involves selecting/partitioning your harddrive(s).  When you get to 
this stage, simply remove the existing partitions and then re-create whatever you 
want (you can even choose to use the existing partitions, but wipe them anyway).
