It is possible. When you install Linux, you'll have to leave some space on your hard disk for a Windows partition. The thing you need to be aware of is that Windows will overwrite your master boot record, so if you install your Linux bootloader there, then after installing Windows it won't be there any more. So, you will need to boot your Linux installation from your distribution's CD and reinstall the bootloader (and of course, add an entry to boot Windows).
