So I have ubuntu right now and I'm trying to get windows by using a bootable usb but when I try to install windows it says that the hard drive has to be formated to NTFS so I have tried formatting it in gparted but it says it's busy. What do I do now?

4Boot from a Live USB distribution. One cannot format the drive you booted from - it's "busy". – waltinator Dec 04 '19 at 19:17

@Kulfy I think this is an XY problem – Elder Geek Dec 04 '19 at 20:03

Boot from a Ubuntu LiveUSB and run gparted. Although the relevant section of the gparted documentation does not mention it, you can make a new partition in gparted to be NTFS.
