If you did want to use the same drive with Windows, you would need to create a partition with FIPS or a similar partition making program. You would then create a Linux partition and install there. Many people do this and this is no problem, except when they need more space, which will always happen.
A separate drive for Linux is, although not necessary, always nice.
