When I try to install a live Linux CD on my new Samsung SSD 850 PRO (with V-NAND tech) and install it does not give me the option to install besides Windows 7 Ultimate x64 ONLY to overwrite it. HELP PLEASE! I do not want to erase my clean copy of Windows. Thanks for any time or help as I really need to dual boot instead of using a virtual machine.

You probably don't have an empty partition on the SSD (you can't install two operating systems on the same partition).
That's why the only option you're offered is to overwrite Windows.

In order to install another OS alongside Windows you must choose an empty partition or create one.
