Answer Question

By ted_g about two years ago

Yes that is possible, however, if you have not used Linux previously, then you might reconsider. There are two things very important that need to be configured for that to work properly:
The MBR Master Boot Record - which lets you choose with Linux to boot when powering on the computer.
and
The Partition Scheme and setup so that there are no conflicts, otherwise you will encounter issues.
