	The proper way to install Linux on a Windows computer whether of not you
want to keep Windows running is to use the Windows Partitioning Tool in 
the section
on doing operations on the disk and either remove the Windows completely or
reduce it to as small a partition as you think you will need for it to 
accommodate
your needs.  Then use GPartEd either on your install media or as a 
separate  live
booting program to create the partitions you will need or which you want 
to have
on your Linux installation.

	Remember that every time Windows updates its kernel and it does so
without notifical it will mess up your boot information.

	I learned everything useful I needed to know from other poster like Aragorn
who knew all abour\t partitioning but not about the size of modern 
disks, hard or SSD.
