Right so I've just built this computer and I try install Windows 7 Professional on my hard drive,
an error occurs and for some reason it wouldn't get past a BOOTMNGR error.
So I install Ubuntu on
the hard drive so as to format it or similar. It installed Ubuntu fine but when I tried to install
windows it loaded up the install window but wouldn't let me install it because Ubuntu changed my
hard drive type to an unrecognized type...

How do I change it to NTFS without any operating system?

Also when I go into CMD of windows recovery I can't find the said HDD...
