I've not looked at this in ages, but basically you're looking at dual-booting. Linux actually comes with the tools you need for creating and resizing the partititons, and it also comes with a bootloader that allows you to set options such preferred OS to be booted. There's loads of guides out on the net. Just stick 'dual booting linux into google, and it comes up with pages like the following:

I'm not sure how good that one is, but it should give you something to read until someone comes along that actually knows about dual booting
