Usually windoze does that.. it's very rare , but sometimes it doesnt
wipe the linux boot loader.. (it happened to my only once)
In my computer , I install linux first , creating all the partitions
(the big FAT partitions I create as ext3 and later I use partition magic
to delete them and create them as fat, because linux doesnt like to
create big FAT partitions [specially above 10Gb]). then I install
windoze and later I use the install cd to go on rescue mode to reinstall
the boot loader...
