If your file system is NTFS you cannot install the Unix OS without formatting and re-partitioning.
If it's FAT32 you should have no problem resizing the disk.
You'll need a loader to switch between Unix and Windows, I suggest LILO.
Do a search for this topic, although personally I have never seen another question like this on the board, I'm sure this has came up before somewhere.
