I am not so sure about Linspire but I think you can try creating an unformatted partition in windows using Partition Magic. Then you could load the installer and use that partition to install Linspire. I would recommend using Ubuntu. It is a much better Linux and much more userfriendly (comparable or sometimes even better than Linspire). When you install Ubuntu, The gParted makes things much more easier because you can select partitions easily and change them...
