They were once men said:
Is it true that if you use a dual boot system with linux and windows on one drive that a windows update could possibly corrupt grub?

I had nothing but issues trying to dual boot windows and linux from the same drive. I would wake up and the linux bootloader would just be gone because apparently windows doesn't like to share.

Things are much better now that they both have separate drives. I've got my linux drive set to default and it gives me an option for which operating system I want to boot into each time I turn on my PC. Very convenient because unfortunately I do still need windows occasionally.

I have never seen this happen since EFI. So, that's what, 15 years now.

are you using mbr or efi? If you open disk management or gdisk is there a 100ish mb fat partition?
