IIRC, yes. Windows recognizes the first partition as C: by default,
regardless of the filesystem type. It looks at the partition markers,
not the filesystem to determine drive assignments. This may have changed
though, as I haven't dealt with this for some time. Maybe as Tim said,
you can "hide" a partition, but I didn't see anything in either man
page. Maybe Bootmagic or another boot loader can keep you from a
complete redo? Not impossible but not it won't win any beauty contests
either.

Oh, that sound of male ego.  You travel halfway across the galaxy and
it's still the same song.
