Laptop for P2 offload ?

I have read that if I use an external HDD with the HVX that I cannot use the drive for any other purpose.

Barry said: The HVX needs to format the drive to work with it, so if you want a drive to store documents or old footage on or whatever, this is not the workflow for you. Only use a drive that you've dedicated specifically for HVX offloads.

My question is:

Is this the same with a laptop? If I use a laptop computer to offload P2 cards, will I be able to use the laptop for anything else, or will the HVX reformat the drive and erase everything?
