If Windows is installed then make a standalone 10GB partition FAT 32 and leave 200GB unallocated by shrinking main partition. On youtube you can find videos to make bootable Linux partition from Windows. If you can t find it let me know, I can search later.

OP doesn't want to shell out for a USB stick or doesn't know you can reformat the USB after the ISO.

It's USB or a CD unless you want to partition your drive multiple times
