I have an EMachines T5234.. I have installed Ubuntu in a dual OS boot configuration. I need to give this computer to another and no longer want the dual boot option.. When you power this machine on, if no keys are pressed, it will boot to Ubuntu.. How can I change this? Or reformat the entire system to original settings?

If you are giving it away a fresh Windows Install is best as it will not only remove Ubuntu but erase your data and settings.

if you want to keep ubuntu on the computer, but have it boot into windows by default the settings are contained in /boot/grub/menu.lst

edit that under root and change the order, so windows is first (sudo gedit /boot.....). from what i recall, the first one in the file is the default.
