You can, very *simply* wipe off an entire disc and re-use it. You can unplug one drive, and work with the other by itself. That can be handy for sorting out problems. If you want to optimise what partitions are where on the disc, to speed up access seeking, it's easier to do so for either OS, individually. It's really only physical issues, like those, that I can see as reasons for doing it. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.)
