I used partition magic to create room for the Linux partition that
I wanted
to create.  I would recommend that you create a DOS partition (not FAT32
but
FAT16) and then create the remaining one as FAT32.
Then when you install Linux you can select the FAT32 and create a Linux
Native and Linux Swap drive. Keep the linux swap below 127 Mbytes. Next
you then select a mount point for the DOS FAT16 drive.
I really like Lilo that can be installed on the master boot record. When
my computer
boots it goes by default to Linux, the X-server starts, and running the
KDE desktop where
I have Star Office package, Netscape 4.5, ICQ, WordPerfect, etc.
You can change the lilo config file to start windows as the default
(/etc/lilo.conf) by moving
the reference of other=/dev/hda1 .... lines above before the  line that
reads image=/boot/vmlinz...
Good Luck and do not give up
