I have installed Ubuntu using the Windows installer. Now I want to uninstall Windows XP, and keep Ubuntu. How do I do that, please?

    "I have installed Ubuntu using windows installer, now I want to uninstall Windows XP, how do I do that, please?" - What you're asking is impossible to do, if you installed Ubuntu using Wubi, Ubuntu will be removed if you remove XP, so to remove Windows properly, boot a LiveCD and then remove the partitions. Then proceed to install Ubuntu on a partition. – Uri Herrera Jan 12 '13 at 16:31

When you install Ubuntu with Wubi, it resides within a file in the Windows system. So if you delete the Windows installation the Ubuntu installation is also lost. You cannot simply delete Windows and continue to use Ubuntu.
