I also faced a similar problem. I overcame this by creating a primary partition of 4 GB for Windows, the remaining going into an extended partition. The extended partition was left alone. No drives were created here. Then I started up RH Linux 6.1 and defined the Linux partition of 2 GB using Disk Druid (and a swap for 128 MB). I left the remaining. After installing Linux, I started Windows and created a drive for Windows using the remaining space in the extended partition. Otherwise you can create a 4 G partition for Linux and install it, choosing to boot from the Linux boot partition instead of the MBR. Then install Windows using the remaining space in the drive.
