the external HDD, ALL except Linux-only drive has been formatted to NTFS. Linux-only drive is ext4, this MAKES SURE that windows does not recognize it(this is preferred for me).

Sorry for not getting back sooner. I've put in a help request for someone that has more knowledge of Linux.
thank you,
but this is strictly for Linux, I'm happy how my linux OS behaviours because I personally customized everything without breaking my system.
I'm unhappy however with Windows7 not being too transparent.
The "Big Name" Linux Distros (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.) normally have no issues with NTFS.
Note
The NTFS performance in Linux Distros is often slower than on Windows.
Linux will apparently run on many different types of file systems.
Ubuntu and LM normally use EXT (my friend has experimented with other file systems, like BTRFS).
If a Linux Distro doesn't support NTFS, you can download some software to "embed" it.
