The last time I had a problem like that, I used the disk manufacturer's
utility to erase the hard drive. Though I didn't even need to do the
full erase -- the quick erase that targeted the first part of the drive
did the job. (This is assuming that there is nothing on the drive that
needs to be preserved.)

I am trying to install a new Lubuntu 12.10 onto a machine here. It's a
pretty standard sort of desktop machine with nVidia chipset, intel dual
core processor and two 320Gb SATA disk drives.
The installation seems to work with no problems, I tell it to use the
whole of the 'first' SATA disk for the installation and to install grub
on the MBR.
The result though is that the *old* grub (version 1.99) menu appears
offering me the old version of linux (I think it's an 11.10) and, at the
bottom of the boot list the new version. If I try and boot the new
version it tells me it can't find the kernel and fails to boot.
How can I do a completely clean install, that's what I want to do?
