I have a laptop that has Linux Mint on it, and wanting to put Windows back on it so I can get rid of the laptop. It had Windows Vista when I received it. Tried to install it, but because the hard drive wasn't NTFS format, it wouldn't install (obviously). So I clicked on "Format" and then it just gave me an error basically saying it couldn't format it. Wasn't sure why. Is there a way around this? Surely there is!
