I wish to make a two-partition harddrive system with O/S in one partition and data stored in a second partition. The second or data partition would be "write-protected" or otherwise armored so it does not get destroyed by a disc format operation. My strategy is to back up my O/S from time to time as an image so I have a means for restoring it in bootable form in event of corruption or damage. As far as I know, the process of restoring an image (or cloning directly from another disc) to create a bootable O/S requires a full format of the disc which is receiving the image or clone hence if the data partition isn't protected I will lose it.
