 If you want to read and write from OS to OS, then make sure you se the windows partition to FAT32. My guess is you have windows installed already ? You may be able to make another partition and set it to VFAT otherwise.

 Just make sure you use  " GRUB " for the booatloader. It's alot easier if your not familiar.

If this is your first time doing anything with linux you may want to install virtual box on windows and then install any linux distro in a virtual machine  on top of windows so you don't have to do a dual boot.
