Yeah, read some documentation.
You will need to have or create space for a couple of new
partitions. You will also need a boot manager. Look at lilo or grub.
In Debian lilo is still the default, but grub is also very nice. And
perhaps easier to work with, in case of a mistake.
To make things easy install Windows first then Linux.
Make sure you backup before you start playing with Linux (or in
general when you make big changes to your pc).
Look for documentation at the debian website or tldp.org.
Good luck,
Bob
