The few times I've set up a dual boot, I installed windows first, then linux/unix. It's the unix install that sets up the dual boot and allows you to partition the drives properly. I'm sure you can do it the other way, but bet it's a lot harder. So, install windows first, make sure your unix install has the ability to set up dual boot, then install the unix second.

That's the easiest way. If Unix is already installed, you should still be able to do it, but maybe not easily. In that case, install Windows, then boot a Unix rescue CD. From there, you'll need to edit the bootloader configuration to point to the Windows partition.
