Mine was dual booted with Windows 10. All was well until I noticed two new partitions appear In W10, D&E. Muggins clicked on them and Windows announced they were RAW, which I understood was un-formatted, it then suggested that they should be formatted, which I did.

When I booted Chrome it was wrecked, I had to reinstall. Windows came up with "RAW" because it couldn't recognise whatever format Chrome uses. What I should have done was remove the letters from the partitions to hide them from W10. Chrome has 28 partitions, enough to confuse anyone!
