You could also try partitioning your drive and then installing windows on the open partition, dragging your files off the old partition into the new one, deleting the old partition, then resizing the new one to use the entire drive.

You would need access to a CD burner however (there is a program you can run off a CD to help you partition your drive). If you can boot off of a USB drive then you could use that too (its only 40 MB).

I would only use that as a last resort though, as it can be fairly complex.
