I have a functional CentOS system on which I need to install Windows for dual boot. I can make some space available on a high partition. Can WIndows be installed on partition 8 (starting with 1)? I have always done it on the first partition.
Windows will do angry things to the boot sector of the drive if it is installed last during dual boot setup, so you'll have to use the recovery disk if you do this. Whether windows will be happy at the end of the disk is somewhat hardware dependent. I honestly don't know if that would work. You might instead (if you have the ram) use vmware and load windows in linux to sidestep the problem entirely.
