And i believe formatting my c drive using ubuntu has something to do with this. Hope i am more clear this time.
No. Formatting your hard drive with the Live CD only erased the data. Regardless of what file system the Live CD formatted to, your Windows CD will format to a Windows file system when Windows installs.
However, it sounds like you are trying to do a clean install of Windows with an upgrade disc, which requires a pre-existing installation of Windows to upgrade from. If you do have a full copy of Windows, are you positive it is legitimate (as in NOT downloaded and cracked from somewhere)?
This is a signature. It is original.
