Still no reason not to have multiple backup drives of the same or different systems. LOL, windows sees and records everything and sends the info straight to the NSATotal BS. Windows doesn't even see Linux partitions or info.Windows will actively destroy Linux partitions and Ubuntu will do the same for win. Unless you are using a laptop there is no reason not to have independent drives for each OS formatted to the appropriate file cluster or format size. Multiple partitions on one drive only works right on paper in practice they destroy each other like dogs and catsI put WindowsFX on yesterday, and I like it; but it wiped out the files on my data partitions, including my /home partition. It did not format the partitions, and the recovery app (Testdisk) read the deleted main directories on the partition, but there were no sub-directories or files that I could recover. I have been installing Ubuntu and derivatives since 2008, and have never encountered such an error in doing the partitioning. Still hoping I can find the sub-direcories with something else for the partition that I did not have backed-up recently.Don't worry about Sourceforge, I've been DLing from them since '98.
Oh! I see what you're saying and you're right. Yeah, multi-boot drives are a thing of the past.
Dedicate a drive to whatever OS you wanna run.
I got a linux and Windows 10 disk I need to wipe so I can use them.
