Dual Boot question
Hi,
I have set a dual boot config, on a laptop with W 7 x64 preinstalled.
Laptop has one disk drive, before dual boot, with 3 primary partitions, from left to right, in Computer Management:
1. Recovery OEM primary 15 GB
2. System Reserved 100 MB primary (70 MB free)
3. C: with 450 GB primary. (Windows 7 x64)
I shrinked C: 200GB, and on the unallocated space I created, via Diskpart, a 4th primary partition and formatted as NTFS.
I clean installed W 10 Pro x64 on that 4th primary partition and set W10 as default OS.
Everything runs fine but I've noticed that when I boot to W7 and open My Computer it only "sees" Local Disk C: where are W7 installed and when I boot to W10, My Computer "sees" Local Disc C: the W 10 partition which is ok, BUT it also "sees", as Local Disk D, the W7 partition so, if i'm not wrong, W 7 partition is also mounted.
Is that normal??
I know that I could probably remove the D: drive letter, so W 10 do not see the W 7 disk/partition but I do not know if this could create any issues with bootmgr or other.
Thank you in advance for any feedback/instructions.
