    i use a different drive for my windows installation because that happened to often,
    and i swear it once managed to wipe the bootloader on the linux drive.

    i have no idea how it did that,
    but i avoided starting windows using the grub entry since then.

        This happened to me! Did an update, unplugged my eSATA and BAM! Can’t find bootloader. I literally, physically facepalmed when I realized what happened. At least the old one still worked from the primary.

        I’ve done a ton of Linux updates and this has never happened to me once (yet).
