Hey guys I want to install ubuntu on my HP P7-1254 I can do and also do I completely erase my hard drive and all partitions, including the (SYSTEM) with DBAN or which would break my hard drive thanks

Break anything using a boot disk to format and erase your hard drive.  It's just the hard disk as if it came from the factory with no OS on it.

As a suggestion, make a disk image of your drive hard if you want to return to Windows, if you don't like Ubundu to an external hard drive.  It gives an accurate picture of what you did not understand the OS, programs and data.  Use Macrium Reflect Freeware.  Only, don't forget to create the rescue disk to restore.
