I installed Ubuntu 14.04 a few days back. As I was in a hurry I clicked on the LVM option. Now when i open GParted in the live cd, it shows that the SDA5 partition has only 16 mb of free space. So is there a way to install windows 7 without having to re install Ubuntu as i have a really slow internet connection and it takes like 2 hours to download just the language packs. If not is there a way to backup all the files like language packs and packages, updates etc. to an external HDD ?

In summary,

a. Install the Windows OS pointing to the extended partition (formatted for Windows used) b. Configure either OS' boot loader (run boot repair) c. Enjoy (Grub will now give you 2 OS options to load upon boot)

Regardless of what I said, you can see tons of tutorials on how to do this, either Ubuntu first or Windows first.

Here is an example of one: Installing Windows 7 on pre-existing Ubuntu 12.04 for Dual-Boot FAQ?
