Did you decide to use the whole disk to install Ubuntu? Or to replace Windows? Did you instal Ubuntu in unallocated space? Do have a Windows installation medium (DVD/CD/USB/whatever you use to install)? Btw: installing another operating system has nothing to do with Ubuntu. How to install Windows is off topic and should be asked on http://superuser.com/ In case you did install Ubuntu on a separate partition and it is a matter of GRUB configuration: please provide an image of your disk layout from gParted. – Rinzwind Aug 31 '15 at 12:01

No. I wanted to install Ubuntu with windows. I did it before on my older computer and It worked, just not on my newer one. – Josh James Sep 02 '15 at 14:01

sorry to hear about the issue
With all the Dual boot installations I have done, the Installer/Setup process always detects the alternately installed OS with no issue/problem.
I have on a usual setup 1xWindows, 1xDebian (or other Linux), 1x Ubunutu
Why aren't you able to reinstall Windows - any specific Error?
Also consider adding your Windows into Grub manually if you didn't break the Partition structure.
