If you want to run both on the same harddrive, you will have to install win 7 first, then install ubuntu.
The installer will ask how much space you require for ubuntu, enter your preference then install as normal.

use a live USB to clean all partition of Linux/Ubuntu then you can install Win7 and after that you can proceed with Ubuntu

Thanks
