But i would not do this. It’s install Linux on NTFS because Windows can’t do anything with Linux EXT4. I suggest to make live cd or usb and start your PC with it. The most distributions have graphical install so you can simple install linux like you want. Be careful you choose to install beside Windows and not replace your Windows

But be careful when u r going to partition the HDD. That time u have to select custom partition to save Wind 7 and select another raw / remain portion of the HDD. Linux has strong GRUB utility to control the booting process. After successful install the installed Linux OS shows the boot menu either u invoke for 7 / Linux. Linux has open source and so many flavors r there though core architectures r same for all. Installation procedure might be slightly differs from one to another. Recently, I experienced a probs when installing SuSE as dual booting with 7, cause the pc confs. It is requested to before doing this task, u must take all necessary backups of ur data/ files / folders (if exists). If possible u can specify which flavor of Linux OS u r going to install & comp specifications that helps to get more suitable ans of ur Q !
