Hi,
Since you want to try Windows 8, but not risk a problem with your current Windows 7 installation, you might also consider installing and running Windows 8 in a virtual machine. Use one of these tutorials to show you how to do that:
VMware Player - Install Windows 8 Consumer Preview - Windows 8 Forums
VirtualBox - Install Windows 8 Consumer Preview - Windows 8 Forums

you could also install windows 8 as a dual boot.

I would not delete or overwrite your WIn7 as Win8 may do if you run it from within Win7.
What I would instead do is try virtualizing it and if that is not successful, shrink C partition to install it as a Dual Boot as I have done and not returned to Win7 since.
You'll need to download the ISO from boobah's link above, burn it to DVD using WIndows Image Burner, then boot it to install to the space you shrank from C.
I`m tellin ya, don`t do it. You won`t like it. You have a perfectly functioning pc now. It`s not worth it.
