Windows 7 installation on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my Laptop and assigned whole HDD space to ubuntu. Now i want to reinstall Windows 7 OS back on my PC and want to remove Ubuntu completely.

I have tried to make bootable USB but in BIOS its not supporting as it is in NTFS and my HDD is ext4 format.(I have Windows CD too but unable to mount in ubuntu)

Please help me how to install Windows 7 back.

Open for any mistake done by me and suggestion too!!!

  1. On a Windows PC use Rufus to create a Windows 7 USB installer.

  2. Change boot order in BIOS, boot from the USB stick, delete all existing ext4 partitions and install the OS.

Edit: Just saw that you have a Windows 7 DVD already. Why are you mounting it in Ubuntu? Just boot from the disc and follow the instructions from step 2 above.
