My hard disk died and I had to get a new 250GB and in the process of recovering my files from old hard disk using Ubuntu, I fell in love with it. So in my new HDD, I just installed Ubuntu first since I did not have a Windows 7 CD and I liked Ubuntu and was already learning stuff on Python.

Now its summer and I want to reinstall Windows 7 so I can play some games. Don't know how to go about making space for Windows 7 as well as what other things to do, please help.

I have about 100GBto spare so that should be more than enough, I just don't know what to do. Should I use GParted to make space and then install Windows 7 and then fix Grub? Or another easier way?

The another way is to make partition use windows 7 disc. Both ways are easy. In windows 7 disc , your drive will be formatted as NTFS by default. With Using Gparted , Never forget that you have to format it with NTFS. because Windows Doesn't understand ext4 file system.
