Boot Camp is installed by default on new Mac machines, located under Applications > Utilities.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mac_mini

This guide should also help you install Ubuntu on your Mac via Boot Camp.

If it were my Mac, I would start by booting from the install DVD for the Mac and running Disk Utility to repair the disk.

It sounds like your installation of Ubuntu may have changed more of the disk then should have. Hopefully DU will be able to repair it.

Otherwise you might have to reinstall OS X.

I would suggest you forget about Ubuntu until you get OS X fixed. It sounds to me that your attempt to install Ubuntu has changed the configuration of your disk so that OS X is no longer able to be installed.

I particularly don't like bootcamp.

I run VMWare Fusion.

I have VM's with Linux, Windows 7 and XP ( I need those Windoze for work stuff)

Easy to make snapshots and blow away if something goes wrong.

It costs a bit, but I believe it well worth it.

Good Luck
