    When I put in
    format fs=ntfs label = "Windows 7"
    there is a message that comes up saying:
    There is no volume selected.
    Please select a volume and try again

    Try this instead:

    diskpart
    select disk 0
    Create partition primart align=1024
    format fs=ntfs quick
    active
    exit
    exit

    Ok, after typing in format fs=ntfs quick I get the same message saying There is no volume selected.
    But before typing in format fs=ntfs quick, I get a list of options after typing in Create partition primart align=1024:
    EFI - Create an EFI system partition
    EXTENDED - Create an extended partition
    LOGICAL - Create a logical drive
    MSR - Create a Microsoft Reserved partition
    PRIMARY - Create a primary partition

    Mmmm. I'm missing something.

    Its not the HDD as Ubuntu was installed to it. Can you try and burn the Windows 7 ISO to another DVD, but this time burn at 4x speed? I don't think thats the issue, but it would help to tick that off the list.

    I can't, at least not right now, I ran out of DVD's, and the ones I have aren't re-writable

    Do you have a 4GB USB flash drive lying around? We can use that instead....

    OK. Be careful...the entire flash drive will be formatted when the ISO is loaded onto it.
