What flavor of Linux are you running? What's your Linux bootloader, GRUB or 
LILO? 

The easy way, for most Linuxes, is to install Windoze first, then Linux. Then, 
during the Linux installation, make sure to install the bootloader (I favor 
GRUB) in the MBR (master boot record), and 'let Linux manage the boot 
process,' or whatever the wording is for your Linux. All modern Linuxes will 
discover your Windows partitions and set up dual-boot during the 
installation.

This tutorial has a great section on using GRUB for multi-booting. I know it's 
great 'cause I wrote it:  Build a Linux test network
