Sure!
I'm not speaking from experience here, since I haven't installed a
windows product in well over 6 years, but I'd try to partition the
drive so that you had a small (50 meg?) partition at the very
front of the drive (first partition), then create other big ones
(extended) after it to house Windows & Linux. Like this:

1. primary partition (50 meg)
2. primary partition (the rest of the drive)
   a. extended: big enough for windows
   b. extended: big enough for linux
   c. extended: swap for linux?
