   Some time ago, I backed up my Laptop's 500GB internal HD to an 2TB   
   external HD using (I forget) ... It might have been 'dd' but I doubt it.   
      
   However, the 500GB Internals Image took up 500GB on the External (i.e. a   
   byte-by-byte image, even the empty bytes, apparently!).   
      
   Now, when I look at that External HD using my Win 11 Desk-top, it   
   doesn't 'see' anything.   
      
   Is this because Linux is at a 'Higher'/'deeper' level than Windows can   
   'see'??   
      
   If I back-up this Win-11 Desktop to the same External HD, is there a   
   possibility that Win-11 will write itself over the Linux Image?? Or is   
   Win-11 able to detect that there is 'something' there so will go looking   
   for the next available UNUSED portion of the External HD??
