I screw up my computer when going back to windows 7. I could not get in after installing some drivers. So I wipe the drive completely and installed Ubuntu. Now I want to install windows 8.1 because I cant play most of the games I played before and can't use and programs that are not compatible. I know there Wine, playonlinux, and vmare but most of the time it dose not work. I try the unetbootin trick by installing it on the hard drive it self, and try using it on a mac and installing it on a flash drive. Both did not work. Please help.

System Specs
q9400 2.66ghz
6gb ddr2 ram
r7 240 4gb
1tb harddrive

Rufus is not working. Everything is blank. Also I am on Ubuntu. Is there any other media creation tool for Ubuntu?

So anyone who having this problem and wondering what to do here the solution I came up with.
1) Install a Virtual Machine
2) Use the ISO to run windows on the VM
3) On the VM install the windows installation media tool to put on a flash drive
3.5) Make sure you have a large enough Flash Drive
4) Install it on to flash drive and wait
5) Once done go through the process of installing a OS through the flash drive and you will have Windows again.
It maybe long but it is what worked for me and I did this a day after this post was created. Hopefully this helps anyone who having trouble.
