I've recently set up my machine to dual-boot Windows 10 + Ubuntu. Each OS has its own disk.
I'd like to keep Windows as far away as possible from the Linux disk. I noticed that disk management in Windows allows marking disks as 'offline'.
My questions:
- What does that do exactly?
- Is it advisable/helpful/beneficial to set the disk holding Linux to 'offline' in Windows?
- Will this alter the disk in any way (i.e. write to it), potentially destroying my Linux installation?
