I have an HP 630, and would like to install Ubuntu.

All goes well until the point where you have to choose how you want Ubuntu installed. I choose on the whole HDD, I want Windows off the HDD.

I press enter and about 5 seconds later the CD tray open and the computer reboots. This happens over and over.

How do I format this Window HDD completely to install Ubuntu 13.04.

I have tried 3 different CD's and the same thing happens each time.
