You'll need a EXT3 (For example) partition for Linux, and you can keep the NTFS one for Windows. However, you have to re-write the MBR (Master Boot Record) to let it boot, and install a boot loader such as Grub to give the option to boot the other partition.

Linux installers generally do both of those, though.
