Make two partitions. Both Windows and pretty much all Linux distros come with partitioning built into the installers. When you're installing your second OS, which I'm assuming will be some form of Linux, you will be asked to select a partition to install the OS to. If you already have two partitions (Like C: and D:) then you can just select the one that you don't have your first OS installed on and the second OS will be installed there. Otherwise, you can easily create a new partition. This is for experienced users, though. I wouldn't recommend messing around with it on your own.<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes. Make two partitions.
