Hi,
Regarding "binding" or "mounting" from Windows.
If I remember correctly from my early days...
If the partitions are NTFS/FAT they are automatically mounted by Windows,
and they are given the next/sequential drive letter.
If you only have ext4 partitions
Then you need to install 3rd party software to access ext4 from Windows,
and it's usually very clunky & slow.
If you need to retain a cross platform drive "data",
then make it ntfs, and linux can access that.
