Yesterday I successfully dual-booted and installed windows on the part of the SSD in my system. The Windows and Linux parts work well, but the disk partition I have reserved for Windows appears in the Devices part of Linux.

Files

How do I make this partition not appear in Linux? Will Windows files be damaged if I unmount using the GParted?

Linux will not damage your Windows files or your Windows partition if you unmount it.

If you want to hide it for one session, you can right-click it in your filemanager and choose the option 'hide'.

You can unmount it using umount itself or GParted or other tools.

But, If don't need your Windows partition and you want to make it gone, you can remove the corresponding line from your /etc/fstab file.

  • My Windows-partition and my other NTFS partition ( I keep my documents, photos, music and videos etc. seperate from y OSes ) are not mentioned in my fstab and neither is my Mint partition. So there I cannot uncomment them. – Joepie Es Jun 24 '22 at 13:49
