You should install Gparted and create a new NTFS partition

@Humanth GParted is a software used for creating, deleting, resizing, moving, checking, and copying disk partitions and their file systems. This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, copying data residing on hard disks, and mirroring one partition with another (disk imaging).

Here is a good manual for creating partitions using Gparted, and includes pictures.

First, install gparted from the software center, or via command line:

$ sudo apt-get install gparted

Run gparted from your applications, you'll be asked for your root password.

You'll be presented with a list of your exsting partitions. You can re-format a desired partition by right-click and unmount, then right click, and choose a new filesystem. Once done that - click on the green tick above, that will write changes.

You should then have a valid ntfs partition to install Windows. Good luck!
