In Gparted (GNome), you must find which partition have vista on it. And delete that partition. Then you must resize your Ubuntu partition "Only if you want the space" Otherwise it will be Un-allocated.

Next, you must set the Ubuntu partition as Active and boot.

Now the tricky part, which is setting Grub, or what ever bootloader to load Ubuntu. On that part I dont know much about. Sorry
