Follow the steps
1. Insert your Windows 7 installation disc or recovery DVD, if you don’t have one, you can use the Hiren bootable CD.

3. From the Hiren boot menu, choose to boot from hard drive. Windows 7 Hiren boot menu.
4. Immediately press F8, then select and click “Repair your computer”.
5. Select the language you want to click Next, click Command Prompt and enter the bootrec / fixmbr command.
6. Restart your computer and you’re done.

Next time, if you are afraid to create a different partition to install, I suggest you use the wubi installer. This allows you to install Linux on the same drive you should install your windows on, and is very easy to use. You can choose the OS during the startup process. Read more here.
