Try changing the type of your partition in Linux. For MBR partitions, this should be | ||
type 7 in `fdisk`. For GPT partitions, this should be type 6 in `fdisk` ("Microsoft | ||

to appear in the first place, but unfortunately this confuses diskmgmt.msc too much. | ||
With the shell extension installed, right-click the drive in Explorer, click Properties, | ||
