Server 2003 should be a bootable DVD. Set your BIOS to boot first from the DVD drive.

I found Ubuntu a bit of a pig to remove, and there don't seem to be any instructions on how to do it.

In the end I installed a disc partitioning program, not sure what it was called now, but its listed in the programs to install. All you do then is remove the partitions on your hard disc that hold Ubuntu. Then when you reboot the OS disappears. Let me know if it doesn't work, as I'll have the names of the programs etc at home.
