Running Windows 7 Professional from an SSD sitting on SATA0 on a Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H motherboard. Also have a conventional HDD sitting on SATA4 on the same motherboard with Linux Mint 16 installed. Both operating systems were installed independent of one another and no bootloaders are being used.

Windows is blissfully ignorant of the LM16 HDD, but LM16 is well aware of the SSD and its contents. Is there a way to make LM16 not see this SSD, or at least its contents and deny ability to touch that SSD?

While I can go into the BIOS and disable SATA0, this is annoying as playing with the SATA cables.
