Hi,
 
I am using Grub Bootloader. My linux partition is visible in windows as D (hda6). It can't read the filesystem but asks to format it time and again. I'm afraid that one of my family members might say yes to it and ruin everything for me.
 
I tried the 'hide (hd0,5)' option in the grub console, but even that doesn't work. I tried searching around in google for it. Couldn't find anything useful. Please help.
 
I have a windows partition as hda5. But in windows it shows an unrecognized device as D and the windows partition as E.
