For some reason, windows does not recognize my linux hard drive. DON'T TUNE OUT THERE! This is not about linux. So I have the drive disabled and everything works fine. Now, I want to decrease the size of the linux partitions so I can put some windows stuff on the other hard drive. However, if I want to view the stuff on the drive, I would have to enable the linux drive, which messes everything up. Now for my question: With partitioning in windows, can you disable parts of a drive and have other parts enabled?
