An image copy is taken at a level closer to the hardware than
the filesystem is. The data files are copied into the image still firmly
embedded into the filesystem, along with all its metadata.
Thanks very much for that illuminating description. I have to go
deeper. I did find this link:

If that software is filesystem agnostic,

It looks as if the point you're missing is the nature of an image.

There's a hell lot of confusion about ext4
If you had an image of a partition that used the ext3 file system and tried
to install this image unto a freshly partitioned hard drive with an ext4 file
system, would the image be destroyed or corrupted?

Just plug it in and format it. If it's not supposed to be bootable and you
only plan to format one block device on it (a filesystem, a physical volume,
an encrypted volume, ...), you don't have to partition it (I usually don't)
although some software *might* get confused by disks without

Can you have two /home directories on separate disks? Do I need another
partition on the second drive as swap? I'd appreciate any help regarding this
matter.
How about, after partitioning, mounting the partition of the
new disk with a filesystem as /home-extended. Create directories
under there

everytime you want to boot from the second hard disk. Just write map
(hd0) (hd1) and map (hd1) (hd0). This should swap your HDD's without
making changes to the BIOS everytime. Then you load the grub on the
second disk using chainloader just like we load windows bootloader.
