ok, what you want is to reduce the windows partition, leaving enough free space for linux. most partition software can do that, but i would recomend vcom partition comander.

for example: if you have a 40GB HD, you can give windows 20 GB, and the other 20GB is left free (unformated). when instaling linux it should detect windows and use the free space.
