After you partition the HD, and you boot from the linux CD you will be able to select which partition you want linux installed on for example

/dev/hda = primary master
/dev/hdb = primary slave
/dev/hdc = secondary master
/dev/hdd = secondary slave

/dev/hda1 = first partition on drive, and continue in numerical order.

Although when I would use a single HD to dual Windows / Linux, I my partitions would go from hda1 then jump to hda5, just something to be aware of when you install linux.
