Partition Magic is the way to go. I've done it both ways...QParted and Partition Magic. PM saves a bunch of time and stress over possible picking the wrong device.

Once done, I would recommend SimplyMepis as the Linux choice. I've done dual boot with Ubuntu also. I like SimplyMepis better. It handled my wireless interface flawlessly where Ubuntu had to tweaked, prodded and cajoled.

The best website I found for a step by step guide is here:

Creating a Dual-Boot Windows XP and Ubuntu Laptop

It's for Ubuntu but can be used for other distros.

Good luck!
