IMHO you don't need a Windows partition in this day and

VirtualBox or VMware Server and then install a Windows guest O.S. under

they will only provide me a Windows based VPN solution).
My laptop has an eSATA port which allows an external hard drive to run
as if it was installed in the machine.
If I ever need to run Windows, I will probably set up an external drive
and run it from that. I have to check if one can run Windows from a
drive other than sda or hda... I am hoping one can. I think just grub
needs to be on sda... or so I hope.
