Why not just partition the drive and dual boot nt w/ linux? This will allow you to learn and expirement with linux, without losing that which you are familiar with. Especially if you rely on that machine for work or something.

as far as what to do, my recommendation would be

1. Make sure all important data is backed up prior to attempting any changes to the drive.
2. Make sure to have adequate documentaion for your chosen distribution, to help guide you through partitioning,etc. Most retail versions of the distros come with decent manuals.
