Message: [QUOTE="Leon, post: 291259, member: 2240"] Well, when i said boot sector i was being kinda facetious, i can't remember exactly what it does but windows given enough time tends to overwrite parts of linux including important kernel files, i don't know if it's intentional per-se, but it's 100% on windows end. NTFS is...ok i gotta rant a bit about this. First yes this is MS's fault but it's far more than just MS trying to screw over linux, because it also messes up on windows too. NTFS is a monumental POS that windows has had for 30 F**KING YEARS and hasn't fixed the corruption issues, yes it can and does happen in windows as well, however it's less noticeable in windows because chkdisk tends to check for errors in NTFS drives on windows and since NTFS is a MS proprietary file system linux can't permanently fix it due to it being closed source, it's such a mess. NTFS is required for windows boot drives i think, but overall it's best to use EXfat if you want transferable file systems between windows and linux (honestly i kind of think EXfat is better for even windows on secondary drives due to only corrupting the file in use at worst since it doesn't work the same way but that's beside the point), or use windows subsystem for linux and just make a drive EXT4, NTFS is such a broken mess on windows, and even worse elsewhere.
