Hi sham38923,

I am glad to help you out. I understand that you are unable to install the windows in your system, it may be a file format issue. For your information, there are file formats that only Linux can read but Windows cannot, and vice versa. Examples are ext4 and ext3 (Linux only) and NTFS (Windows only).

If you want to install the Windows in HDD, you need to format it using a file system recognizable by Windows. I would recommend NTFS or exFAT. If you’re using Windows 7 and above, then NTFS is the way to go.

Before you format though, I would suggest you to transfer all important data in the HDD using the Linux before doing any formatting, because this will definitely erase all data inside.

After installation, please run the Windows Data Lifeguard Diagnostics in your system to confirm the HDD working properly. Please refer to the link below for Windows Data Lifeguard Diagnostics:

Hope this helps
