Can a Windows virus access virtual disks with another system?

I am using 2 operation system via Grub, Linux for work and Windows for games.

My question is, if I get some virus on Windows, can it some how damage my files that are stored on a disk with Linux? Or get access for files on Linux disk? Can a virtual disk be exposed to some another vulnerabilities from another virtual disk with infected Windows?

Solution

  • Sure it can. The virus can and will do what it is supposed to do. "Virus" is a very broad term for this question. Can you give a little more details or context?
