have any of you mannaged to successfully install linux alongside with windows?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hello folks,

I have been playing with Linux mint and Accessible Coconut for over 24 
hours. I am getting to like this system. However, When I contemplated 
installing on my hard disk, I found the installation process a little 
confusing and scary. I always reverted back and aborted the installation 
to prevent an unintended damage to my windows operating system.

If any of you have successfully managed to install linux alongside with 
windows on the same hard disk, please advise me on how to go about it 
safely.

Regards,

Ibrahim
