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.

set up a second efi boot partition.

I have had a bad history with this. The windows partion constantly (noticed the competition and) overwrote the bootloader when it updated. With separate drives for both OS I no longer have this problem.
