I installed Ubuntu and currently my laptop is dual boot(win7/Ubuntu). But now I want to remove Win7 retaining my Ubuntu Installations(software) I don't want to install Ubuntu with live CD. Please suggest some other method if you know one.

Update based on OP's Comments

sudo cat /etc/fstab

# /etc/fstab: static file system information. 
# 
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device
; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices 
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). 
# 
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> 
# / was on /dev/sda5 during installation 
UUID=384594f2-ff10-499a-9ae6-2f85f6feeeaa / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 
# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation 
UUID=89a95801-318a-4d25-a0d9-76aceb07508b none swap sw 0 0

First of all, install GParted from the Ubuntu repositories.

And then you can just identify the Windows partition (usually, it'll have the NTFS file system), and format it.

I'd suggest to format it to your Ubuntu's file system, and then you can merge both partitions, to extend Ubuntu's free space...
