Disabling partition just for one OS on multi-boot system
- by Emiswelt
Hi
Regarding to the solution there: http://serverfault.com/questions/36385/how-can-i-mount-a-hard-drive-as-read-only-on-windows-xp
I have a system with three partitions. One runs windows 7, one runs windows XP and is for some experimental programming and testing. I don't want to mess up anything, so I am going to disable the windows 7 partition like described on the linked page above from windows XP to protect the operating system.
When I do this, is the windows 7 partition only disabled for the running XP os, or is the windows 7 partition rendered unbootable?
with best regards
