Use fdisk to delete all the partitions on your harddisk, boot from the live CD and then us su or sudo to run it.
As a recommendation, don't just choose a default install now, you should have a pretty good idea of the shape of a linux installation.
You need
a boot partition near the start of the disk
a swap partition
a root partition
With ubuntu I use either the "alternate" or "server" disk to do my installation and basically treat it as a debian system.
