- hard disk one: st31000528as barracuda 7200.12 sata 3gb/s 1tb

, current partitions these:
code:
disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 gb, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes i/o size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes disk identifier: 0x22c13b74     device boot      start         end      blocks   id  system /dev/sda1            2046   328124415   164061185    5  extended /dev/sda2       328127625  1638389024   655130700    7  hpfs/ntfs/exfat /dev/sda4   *  1638400000  1953523119   157561560   42  sfs /dev/sda5            2048     5859327     2928640   82  linux swap / solaris /dev/sda6         5861376    35155967    14647296   83  linux /dev/sda7        35158016   328124415   146483200   83  linux
* /dev/sda2 place i'd install windows, after try many times - on hands - happy formatting whole hd , reinstalling whole thing, ubuntu , windows 7

faced problem already? whats solution?

ps.: i'm sorry poor grammar, i'm brazil.

welcome uf

i'm not 100% sure on problem can see couple of possibilities. first sda4 shown sfs partition type. might indicate @ time have exceeded maximum number of primary partitions available (which 4 ).when happens windows change partition type sfs, dynamic disk, rather basic. makes installing other operating systems impossible.
should try format sda4 ntfs , see if helps.

second point windows likes think system on drive , therefore likes in first partition on drive. whether cause problem when installing, i'm not sure.

try formatting sda4 ntfs first , see if installer recognise it.
