From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My recommendation would be to have Linux on the 500gb drive and then install windows directly on the other drive without partitioning. I wouldn't install Linux on a partition as Windows likes to mess with the bootloader but if Linux is on it's own drive you can always boot it from EFI without issues.
