Linux probably won’t auto-mount.ĭoesn’t appear in VeraCrypt. You’ll need to wipe the disk and format with GPT before attempting any of this. Unfortunately, in my testing I was unable to find any MBR partition types that Windows ignores. The tables below show the type IDs that will not prompt for formatting on Windows. VeraCrypt for example, generally doesn’t allow you to select the partitions that Windows hides completely. The different types have slightly different behavior, so you’ll want to pick the one most suited to your use. We can abuse this functionality by assigning specific partition types to our encrypted or Linux partitions. Luckily for us, Windows is set up to ignore certain types of partitions and hide them from the user.
If you deal a lot with VeraCrypt encrypted partitions or have thumb drives with separate partitions for Windows and Linux you’re probably going to want to prevent them from being wiped out by an accident press of the enter key. While this behavior in Windows is useful for a typical user who may have purchased an unformatted thumb drive, it can be particularly annoying for power users. Luckily we can use some dirty tricks to prevent Windows from generating this prompt for specific partitions, and avoid accidentally wiping out useful data. If you’re the type of person who works a lot with removable disks not formatted as FAT, exFAT, or NTFS on Windows, you’ve probably come close to wiping out partitions because of this message.
