Wubi

Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows that partitions your disk for you. I tested it out with my netbook, and it works fairly well. The only problem is that you can't choose the partition size you want, and it set aside only 12 gigs for Ubuntu (but I have the 120 gig "SYSTEM RESERVED" partition that I can mount).

For someone who wants to do a simple dual-boot for a smaller computer like a netbook which has no CD drive, it worked pretty well. Otherwise the link for the previous Windows 7/Ubuntu dual-boot tutorial posted earlier went very smoothly for me as well.

If you don't like the way it installs Ubuntu on your system you can simply uninstall it from through Windows.
