You should have no problem dual-booting.
UEFI boards require gpt partitions, so the windows 7 should be using gpt 
partition(s), even if not in UEFI mode.

(You might want to verify.  In superuser mode, simply list disk parameters with :
  fdisk -l
If gpt, it will give an error message saying that fdisk doesn't support gpt.)

Mageia has no problem with gpt, I've been using it for over 2 years, starting 
with Mandriva, then Mageia.  (We use the same legacy grub patched for gpt.)
Even dual-booting with a non-gpt-aware version of Msw is a bit tricky, but doable.
(I've set up dual-boot with a non-gpt-aware version of windows 7.)
