How can you reinstall Windows after installing ubuntu?
If you're installing it in a dual-boot system, you must have ample space left over. Additionally it's recommended you install Windows first, then the Linux distribution of your choice because Windows will overwrite the MBR with its bootloader and it will not recognize any Linux partitions (however, you can reinstall the bootloader if you pop in a live CD/USB later). If you're replacing Linux with Windows, use the partitioner of your choice in a live CD/USB and delete all the partitions (or just wipe by zeroing the disk) and start the Windows installer upon reboot.

It depends on what you are trying to do.

The same could be said if installing Ubuntu, since it may have functionality that is not present in Windows 7.
