you can't install windows 7 on logical partition, nor can install on ext4 filesystem. needs on ntfs filesystem, , first primary partition. i'd suggest redo partitioning scheme. first make primary partition ntfs in install windows (30-50 gb). make extended partition put ubuntu on. divide extended partition 3 logical ones.

make 1 partition of 20 gb. / (root) partition. serve host system files. make second logical partition, size of 100, more or less. /home partition, used host user data. kinda windows d: drive. last 1 should big ram size, , used swap partition. leave rest unallocated.

put windows install cd in drive, , install first primary ntfs partition. after install windows, put ubuntu live cd in drive. when installing, use "something else", , "manual partitioning" option. choose 20 gb partition, , choose format ext4, mountpoint /. choose 100 gb partition, format ext4, , set mountpoint /home. lastly, choose last partition, , choose use linux swap. reboot, , you'll selection of whether boot windows or ubuntu.
