Install Windows 7 on a notebook with pre-installed SUSE Linux Enterprise

Hi to all!
Do you know how should I proceed if I want to install a Windows 7 OS on a new notebook with pre-installed SUSE Linux Enterprise?
The problem is that I want to keep the Linux but I want to make a partition where I want to put Windows 7, to have both operating systems on the same HDD but on different partitions. Is there a possibility to make that partition without affecting the pre-installed Linux?
Thank you.
 
The first step is to make sure there are actually Windows 7 drivers available for everything in the computer, particularly the chipset.

Absolutely! You didn't give us the make or model of your machine, but if the manufacturer sold the same machine with Windows 7, you should be able to download all of the current drivers and utilities from their site.

The second step is to get another hard drive the same size as your current drive (or larger) and cloning software for Linux, like Clonezilla, and clone your existing setup so you can restore it if things go wrong.

If you think you could use more space to support both OS's, you can use the same idea to migrate your new setup to the larger drive once you have it working.
