	Here is what the disks look like before, from Kali Linux. The output of <code>fdisk -l</code> shows ~~two devices - one hard drive at~~ <code>/dev/sda</code> with several ~~Apple HFS~~ partitions, and ~~one at~~ <code>/dev/sdb</code> ~~with a 16 GB~~ jump drive with ~~two partitions, <code>/dev/sdb1</code> and <code>/dev/sdb2</code>~~:		Here is what the disks look like before, from Kali Linux, running fdisk (if you can't find the fdisk utility, make sure you are root!).

			The output of <code>fdisk -l</code> shows a block of information about each disk device. Here, we have <code>/dev/sda</code>, which is the hard drive on the machine, with several NTFS/linux partitions, and <code>/dev/sdb</code>, the USB jump drive with Kali installed:
