How to get windows to not do disk checking or ruin my bootloader when i add a linux partition on the same drive. I don’t like the windows panicking when there is a linux partition on it and doing a variety of things, even if its not on the same ssd it STILL does disk checking but I have not seen anything worse than that on the same partition, but I need the space.

Dunno if this belongs in the linux subreddit but I mean if there is any way i can hide linux that could also work.

    You’d be saving yourself a headache if you use separate physical drives. I was able to get a dual boot to work on one drive temporarily, but it broke every time Windows updated.

    In the age of Bitlocker and UEFI windows recognizes potential drive contamination at a very early point in the boot process. So it will look like it’s working fine at the start, but once you boot into the linux partition, Windows is going to request disk checking at next boot and potentially write over things.
