This time, I'll address my questions with a propah subject line.
What procedure should be followed to install Linux & Windows on the same disk? I have heard that you should partition your drive w/Linux first, install Linux, then Windows. Or is it the other way around?

I thought it was the other way around.

I have windows XP and mandriva 2005 dual booting on an AMD Athlon and it goes fine. I already had windows. I did scan disk and defrag, and then let mandriva do the partitioning. It was scary, but worked fine. I guess you need to back up all critical files first. I didn't have much, just photos. I am sure the gurus will have some good advice for you though, so do wait for them to advise.

Good luck
