Are you hoping to retain the documents and settings in your /home folder, or do you want to start again from scratch? – mwfearnley Sep 04 '16 at 10:09

If you would like to start over, then a fresh installation would be suffice. All you have to do is to download Ubuntu (if you don't have it already). After that, you can create a Live USB on your Mac. Then, boot up the OS on the Lenovo PC and you will get to a screen like this:
Of course, the version of Ubuntu will be particular to the one you downloaded. You have four options, but you want is the third option(from the top).
From there, follow the instructions, and you should have Ubuntu up and running in the next 5-10 minutes!

You might also choose Something Else ! Then manually select the partition where your Ubuntu was before, select to mount as ROOT - but do not format, - when your ubuntu is reinstalled you will probably find all your old files, documents and mails! – Ken Mollerup Sep 04 '16 at 14:05
