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.

Whereas I agree that it's not guaranteed to work, I have set up more then a dozen systems this way and have never had it be an issue.

    Honestly I have no clue how many EFI implementations actually fail there. Maybe it's indeed a minor fraction. But I have personally seen two different ones (out of about a dozen -mostly laptops a few years old- systems where I tried it) and that's enough to consider it a problem. (PS: Probably not conicidently one of those also had a broken SecureBoot implementation that rejected all key changes and only worked with the pre-installed MS ones. Maybe I'm simply good at finding the trashy ones.)
