That is why we all use Linux. It is WAY smarter than Windows ever was or will be. For years I have done some dual boots. Linux can see and use the windows "drive" but Windows has no clue that Linux is there.
I've always found that a great security "feature". For laptops, win has to be /dev/sda, put Linux on /dev/sdb and use the boot-select feature to choose the drive -- 99.9% of people never know /sdb exists, much less what to do with it :) Now August Windows patch Tuesday wiped out a good number dual-boot boxes as the MS patch wiped out secure boot for the Linux OS's (as usual a patch to fix what the prior patch broke -- is in work...)
