Your best option would be to use a stand alone imager like Norton Ghost that can run off the CD without a OS.  Make an image to your outboard drive, disconnect it, then do your partiton/format work on your onboard drive.  Reconnect your outboard drive, start Ghost and re-image your Onboard drive.  After you check the re-image, you can re pertition /format the outboard.  You can pick up an older version of Ghost on new egg or e-bay for about 10 bucks.
