 ### Disable Secure Boot
 
-If secure boot is enabled it must be turned off since Linux boot loaders don't typically have digital signatures. Note that if you intend on running a dual-boot system with Windows and Linux you won't be able to use disk encryption on the partition containing Windows, as it requires secure boot.

 ### Disable Fast Start
 
-If you are dual botting with Windows turn off Fast Start. Fast Start puts Windows systems into hybernation when you power off. Because some systems are still active during hibernation, booting into a Linux system can cause various problems.

+### Plan your disc partitioning strategy
+I typically run Linux on a dual-boot system with Windows. Generally I'll install Windows first, then reduce the size of the partition, freeing up enough unalocated space for Linux. If I'm running a single boot system on either a new drive or a repurposed drive then I can simply kill all existing partitions (see below).
+
+To view your disc partitions:
+
+	fdisk -l

 ### Delete existing disk partitions
-This step is only necessary if you are using a drive with existing partitions. To see how your drive is partitioned use `fdisk -l`. If you need to remove partitions you can use parted:

+__NOTE:__ _Since we're using LVM we only need two drive partitions. The first is a boot partition (If you're dual booting with Windows then you will aready have a boot partition that can be shared with your Linux installation, so you can skip creating it), the second is the root partition where our LVM will live._
