    If you have Partition Magic, use that. It will format the partition for a Linux install. Once done boot to your CD-Rom and install Linux.

    I havent tried 8.1 yet, but 8.0 would set it up automatically, if you selected to keep the Windows partition. Just boot using the cd. It would ask how much space you wanted for the root and such, the rest was automated. (If you choose that route)
