I think windows doesn't ask you if you want to write the mrb, so, from
my own experiencie, i suggest, install windows, let it overwrite the
mrb, once installed, make linux overwrite the mrb, and you will be able
to dual boot using grub. In some cases you maybe will need to edit the
grub configuration files or the boot.ini(windows boot loader),
sometimes, windows stops from working because the boot loader aims to an
incorrect partition, and you'll get an HAL(Hardware Abstraction layer)
Missing Error.
You can install gparted, that tool will let you make some space to
install windows. From a terminal just type this:
# sudo aptitude install gparted
