From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

100% possible with a Windows 10 guest in kvm/libvirt.
You can connect the disk to your Linux system, and then pass through the disk's entire block device to the VM. Windows will see the device as an actual disk, and you can perform your repairs that way. I have something like this in my domain definition to pass through my game drive to my Windows 10 VM: https://pastebin.com/GzuvMTWP
I can even use the manufacturer's SSD maintenance tool from my VM.
Edit: lemmy doesn't seem to like XML in code blocks, so used pastebin instead.
