In this application, booting the system off a DVD drive, and having two drives (or two computers), and spare boot DVDs would seem the way to go. Nothing like unwritable media for guaranteeing that things don't get stuffed up after they're working (provided the BIOS settings are left alone). The failure to find an ext2 filesystem on a loopback device doesn't really sound to me like an application problem. But I'm not sympathetic to the subject line premise, having spent three days recovering from the mess that occurred after letting Windows XP do one of its overly frequent security updates - it would no longer boot - and my reinstall attempts failed as well due to Windows XP in its pre SP1 form being incapable of driving my present hardware (that took a while to realise, because it kept looking like a HDD problem or motherboard problem).
