Then simply _backup_ your work. If you can't, don't install Linux now.
There is no way to be sure that your existing partition(s) won't suffer
when you create a new one. 

Said that, Mandrake's tool is quite good for the harddisk stuff (if you
prefer graphic interfaces). I never heard of anyone who had trouble
when resizing the partitions and installing the system. But that seems
no longer true for MK8 and newer. Your choice then.

PS: Did I mention backups?
