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 But Wubi won't give you what you want (just Ubuntu). So consider this: 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.
- Here's the Ubuntu.com "Download Ubuntu Desktop" page, that has some guides on creating a DVD or USB under the "Easy ways to switch to Ubuntu" heading.
