Re: Cannot install Windows after linux mint with dual boot
Windows requires least one primary partition for booting. Boot using live DVD/USB and shrink extended partition and make one small primary ntfs partition.
For Windows 7 you need about 100 to 300 MB boot partition. System partition C, can be a logical partition.
