You can't get the full space for Windows. Linux requires a partition type that Windows CAN NOT read. The best you can do is install Windows first and then install Linux with the minimum space it will allow. You might have a problem re-installing Windows if you currently have Linux installed on the hard disk. You must delete the Linux partitions using a bootable Linux CD first.

xpcman is right.
Windows can't read the format that Linux uses.
Step 1) Install Windows.
Step 2) Install Linux
Step 2a) Allow Windows a partition space of 25Gb (This a little larger than the "system requirements for the 64-bit version of Windows 7)
Step 2b) Allow Linux a partition space of 25Gb (This is WAY more than you will need but Linux is very customizable and you might actually use that some how)
Step 2c) Make the third partition space a Swap. This allows all operating systems to access the files located on this. FORMAT THIS WITH NTFS!
Step 3) Use the final partition you just made to save everything.
Step 4) Enjoy dual booting!
Note - Don't forget to encrypt your hard drive(s) ... you now have to encrypt every partition to my knowledge. I advise deep freezing after customizing and updating. Make sure to install a virus program for both Linux and Windows on each of them so you can actually fix yourself if all hell breaks loose.
