Why can't the hard drive be split into 2 partitions, one formated for Dish and one formatted for computer?

Because once you connect it to the ViP unit if it is not formatted entirely in their proprietary linux partition arrangement then it will automatically be reformatted. That is even after initial use. If you take it out and use some kind of partition management then you plug it back into the Vip unit it will reformat the entire drive.
