Your question has been asked and answered many times, so if you google for it, you'll likely find many decent tutorials. Here's one to get you going: http://www.howtoforge.com/windows_linux_dual_boot
Have you tried linux at all yet? The best way to get started, with the least commitment, is with a liveCD, which are provided by most major distributions these days: http://www.livecdlist.com/?sort=&showonly=
