I use Symantec’s Norton Partition Magic to carve up the disk, usually into 3 partitions (NTFS for windows, FAT32 for moving files between windows and linux, and a linux partition).

You’ll need to copy the linux bootloader into the Master Boot Record and then set it up so you can choose which OS to boot.

I used to use Partition Magic all the time. Still have version 8, I think. But I carry Puppy Linux around on thumb drive and it's just more convenient.

As for copying the bootloader into the MBR, isn't that Grub's default setup? I think Grub is pretty much automatic if let it be.
