I only have one hard disk and Windows 7 is currently installed on it. I'm considering dual-boot but I was wondering: Will having Ubuntu and Windows at the same time with only one HDD affect my PC's performance?

Setting up a dual boot does not affect the performance of a computer as only one operating system is running at a time. Thus, they get access to all of the computers resources. The only system spec which is affected is HDD space (not HDD speed) as the drive has been divided between the operating systems, thus, they only have access to the space allocated to them.
