What filesystem can Windows 7 be installed on except ntfs, because i need to change my file system via installing ubuntu and the option of making my hard drive ntfs is not available.

Also currently my filesystem is ext4

Answer 1

A quick google search confirms that windows 7 can only be installed on NTFS partitions. Previous versions (such as Windows XP) where able to be installed on FAT, but that's no longer possible. ext4 is not supported by Windows 7 at all.
