After you have established a partition for Linux, you have to 
'sub-partition' that space so that your distribution can use it. One of 
the more important 'sub-partitions' that you will need to create is 
called "Home" and that is where all your data files will reside. If you 
take care to format this particular partition as FAT 32, then you will 
be able to access your data from both Windows and Linux (which can be 
useful when you are taking your first steps in Linux.

The very nature of your question suggests to me that you are very new to 
Linux. I think that you could do yourself a huge favour by buying / 
borrowing a book like "Fedora Core Unleashed", "Running Linux", or even 
"Linux for Dummies" and then spending some time getting a good grasp on 
how the file system structure is set up in Linux.
