I use a sony vaio and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I want to install Windows 7 and whenever I insert a bootable usb drive, Error occurs. It says that 693 MB of boot disk space require. How to clean boot disk space;rather I have tried du –sh /var/cache/apt/archives and sudo apt-get clean. Nothing happens!

What space do you want to clean? On a USB drive? Or you mean you want to free space on your hard drive to install windows there?

For clearing HD space, assuming you have enough free space, I'd run gparted (maybe from a live iso/cd/dvd) and shrink partitions until there's enough free space to create a new partition of the desired size, then tell the windows installer to use the new/empty partition.

For clearing a USB drive, it's pretty much the same thing only it should work without needing to run a live usb/cd/iso.
