I understand what each do exactly. What I want to do is use a boot Linux via Live USB and mount the hard drive and saving documents to it. So it theory, USB will never get written on by Linux, only read from (which will prolong it's life).
I have done this before but only with a small text file to test it. My question to you really is, is there any unforeseen consequences to doing this with much larger files?
Seems likely to me since I can see all the files Windows and I have created so Linux knows not to overwrite anything.
Ultimate Goal: Using this concept, I would boot Ubuntu Server and create a Minecraft Server and periodically save any changes made to the world on the hard drive.
