I'm trying to dual boot Ubuntu and Windows 7. I used to initially have Windows, but after installing Ubuntu, I can't find it anywhere and have no clue what happened. Yes, I'm an idiot, because I didn't back up. Now that I got the installation for Windows and created an unallocated drive for space, I keep getting an error message saying partition on boot disk needs at least 829 megabytes of free space (I have 10GB of unallocated space). I tried using GParted, but nothing works.

I keep getting the error message:

I just need to know how to install Windows 7 on Ubuntu. No websites really explain it. Apparently I didn't notice it was using Wine this whole time. But aside from that, how can I install Windows 7 without Wine and alongside Ubuntu?

From reading your comments it seems like you are trying to install Windows second, which doesnt work. You need to boot the computer from the Windows CD then install, then reinstall Ubuntu if it overwrites the partition.
