How to I remove windows but keep Ubuntu?

I have installed Ubuntu onto my laptop and I am happy! Great stuff. How do I do away with (uninstall) Windows XP altogether please? Also.....can Ubuntu be installed onto my ecpc that is now redundant because of constant updates?! Do I just reformat the drive and connect a CD player with the Ubuntu iso on disk?

In order to remove window you need to use disk utility or Gparted to format the partition that windows is on.
Once that has been done open a Terminal (using Ctrl+Alt+T) then use the following command 

sudo update-grub

This will update grub and remove the windows entry.

Install GParted and format the partition where windows is on.

sudo apt-get install gparted

Then you need to edit GRUB to remove the Boot in to windows option.
