Use linux fdisk before you do anything and setup the partitions 
setting the "type" to 82 for swap and 83 for linux.
Then load winblows -winblows won't even see the type 82 and 83. 
Therfore it will not even try to load anything there.
Then Linux and set grub to see the winblows partition.  No addtional 
money or trip to the store.

Open Source solution!

By the way "Acronis" is a Linux friendly partition program.  I think 
it is based on a Linux boot disc.
It even will fornat ext2, ext3 and several others.  However, it does 
cost something.
