You should be able to install Windows after Linux too, however it's easier, more comfortable and safer, when you do it first. As I get from your description, I can understand you didn't installed it in the first place, but want to have it as alternative now. When you install windows you can be sure it will screw up grub, in other words kill and replace it, however this isn't such a big problem if you've a Linux liveCD and can access the old system to re-do the grub install part, also you'll have to add the windows boot entry by hand but that shouldn't be a big deal either.
