Ouch.
Ok, since you're starting from scratch do this:
Install Windows. Give it all but, say, 40G of your disk. When that's done (before you spend a bunch of time updating, installing software, etc.) install Linux and be sure to have it dual boot. I'm not sure what the Ubuntu install is like but SuSE will see the Windows partition and keep it by default. According to the Ubuntu guys I was just chatting with it is supposed to do that, so I'm not sure what happened. The SuSE installer has a nice graphical front end with mouse support, etc. It'll probably be more comfortable for you.
After we have them both installed and we've verified the dual boot THEN we'll start spending time configuring the two OSes.
