Yes, you can if, you are install RedHat, which comes with . Plan your
partitions
for linux; one or more for windows even. When asked for LILO option, opt
this to
install at your boot record of your first linux partition.
Install windows now, if every thing goes well, run fdisk from there and
make your
linux partition active, reboot and enjoy!

No, don't do that if you have installed something on your hard disks; it
may not
work. You know IDE drives are more intelligent, some of these will
automatically
translate your idea into a practical one, but not always.
