- For windows to be installed alongside ubuntu first you need to make the partition of the format NTFS in your ubuntu
- you can do it using gparted application in ubuntu.
- After this start booting your windows.
then install windows on that particular NTFS partition.

You can't create a partition on the existing drive if it is mounted. You need to create a live usb and boot into the live Ubuntu. Then follow these steps:
- Open terminal,
ctrl+alt+t. - Type
sudo gparted. - Resize your drive.
- Set the format's for the new unallocated memory space.
- Reboot back into your normal Ubuntu.
Then follow this to install windows on top of your new partition.
