If a dual system, is added to the disk partition number (/ dev / sda1)

Inside fdisk tool, create a partition

n Create a new partition

w save partition information, and exit fdisk

Single-user system partition
efi partition: about 512M
System partition: Custom
swap partition: now, according to memory size

Physical Memory	swap partition
<=4G	4G
4~16G	8G
16~64G	16G
64~256G	32G

Coupled with their own partition number only when the dual system user to create a system partition with the swap partition, create partition

~ ~ ~
fidsk / dev / sda4
~ ~ ~

Partition is created, save the partition, exit the partitioning tool
