Question

I wanted to install ubuntu alongside windows but it formatted the disk completely, now I want to install windows alongside ubuntu, above is the link to present status of harddisk (gparted)

Please help me how to resize the partition and install windows, I am a complete newbie to linux/ubuntu as such.

Thanks.. but the problem for me is its the same disk where ubuuntu is booted from and secondly the lvm partition is inside(sub-partition) of extended partition sda2 — Jagjeet Singh Thukral, Jan 04 '14 at 14:41
It doesn't work... bcoz most of the commands are giving errors that the disk is being used even after unmounting — Jagjeet Singh Thukral, Jan 05 '14 at 05:46
