Q. Please give step-by step instructions because I want to install Linux (there are some free programs that are better then the Windows alternatives) too. Thanks!
A. Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/wubi
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 9 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 10.04 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled
Linux Mint has a similar installer called mint4win (mint4win works the same as Wubi so the instructions outlined above are almost identical)
You keep Windows as it is, mint4win only adds an extra option to boot into Linux Mint. mint4win does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.
mint4win keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.
Boot in to windows insert the Linux Mint LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the mint4win installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Linux Mint (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.
Once Linux Mint is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Linux Mint

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 9 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation
Linux Mint 9 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive

Is it possible to have Linux and Windows 7 at the same time?
Q. I want to install Linux on my computer, but I don't want to use it the entire time. I still want to keep Windows 7 on here because I don't have a CD to reinstall it.

is it possible to install any linux distro on windows file system?
Q. Like using Ubuntu with wubi. Can other linux distros just be installed on C:\ drive too, like a normal program that could be later removed?
A. There is win32-loader (Debian) which installs Debian within windows but as yet I have not tested it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Win32-loader_(Debian)
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 7 Main Edition which is Ubuntu based. Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled
Linux Mint has a feature called mint4win based on the Wubi installer (Ubuntu) http://wubi-installer.org/ which enables you to install Linux Mint within windows
You keep Windows as it is, mint4win only adds an extra option to boot into Linux Mint. mint4win does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.

One thing of note the default theme of Linux Mint 7 is utterly hideous but this can easily be changed to the default theme of the previous release Linux Mint 6
