Download a Repartitioner u have to repartiton to do this. Creat Duel Boot. I normaly go 1/2 of your drive space. After u do this when u goto install windows u will see unused partition space just install and your good.

When you boot you will be givin the option to pick witch os u wanna run.

OpenSUSE > ubantu just so you know. At least when I last used Ubantu it was complete crap.

I heard so many things about suse that I don't think I'll even try it. Whats the difference anyway? Just that Ubuntu is Debian right?
