I had Windows 7 installed on my laptop, with hard drive partitioned. I installed Ubuntu formatting the drive as it didn't detect I had Windows 7 too already. It installed correctly, but now when I'm also trying to install Windows I don't have a drive of NTFS file system as it converted to ext4 completely (all 500 GB WD). Please help me in installing Windows too.

Boot from your installation media (live USB or live DVD). Run gparted and reduce the size of the Ubuntu partition. Add another partition and format it to NTFS).
Install Windows.
At this point, Windows will load but not Ubuntu, because Windows removes Grub the Ubuntu boot loader.
So again boot from your live USB or DVD and repair grub.
Install and run boot-repair and choose "recommended repair".
