first install windows, then linux because windows don't know about linux
you can do the partitions you said, but when you install linux it has to write
the mbr (master boot record) of the first partition and you will not be
available to run windows. but you can configure lilo or grub to use windows.
just search the web about lilo or grub (depens on wich distro you use) and
windows. it's easy.
