Yes -- you basically shrink the MS-Windows partition and when the installer 
asks, tell it to just use the "free" disk space.  Later, when it installs the 
boot loader, it will "detect" the MS-Windows install and add it to the boot 
menu.

Note: with "modern" 64-bit processors, it might actually be easier / more 
usefull to run one of the O/Ss as a virtual machine.  This allows running 
*both* O/Ss *at the same time*, which can add a level of usefulness.
