When I was using lilo, I had all the linux partitions "deactivated". I
copied that from one of the HOWTO's or something on dual booting. I needed
those lines so windows wouldn't complain about these drives that were
"unusable" or something or other. And it was giving me an icon for the
linux partitions (at least some of them), thereby messing up my drive
letter ordering.
When I moved to grub, I thought these lines translated to hide commands.
They only appear under the title for booting windows. But when I restart
windows, apparently they don't get unhidden.
So I don't need to hide any of the linux partitions from windows?
