Is it sufficient to install Windows to a completely separate disk instead of a separate partition to prevent this? I can't imagine Windows starting to overwrite partitions or boot sectors on a drive it is not even installed to
- zaarn 6y agoI always install Windows to a different disk, so yes, Windows will try to recover partitions on other disks, especially when it finds multiple ESPs and the windows one isn't the active one (upon which it sometimes tries to install it's bootloader there, looks if that disk has the windows partition on it and confirms that yes, windows is installed on that disk because it has a windows-like ESP that it just installed, so it goes for a repair)
