yes do the firs thing.
format and install

While installing Suse choose to install over Ubuntu and Format the Partiotion before installing. i.e. Use the"/" partition for Suse to install and keep the same Swap partition.

This will remove Ubuntu and you will get Grub / Lilo with Win and Suse Options only.
