An invention is provided for protecting the data integrity of a cached storage device in an alternate operating system (OS) environment. The invention includes replacing a globally unique identifiers partition table (GPT) for a cached disk with a modified globally unique identifiers partition table (MGPT). The MGPT renders cached partitions on the cached disk inaccessible when the MGPT is used by an OS to access the cached partitions, while un-cached partitions on the cached disk are still accessible when the using MGPT. In normal operation, the data on the cached disk is accessed using information based on the GPT, which can be stored on a caching disk, generally via caching software. In response to receiving a request to disable caching, the MGPT on the cached disk is replaced with the GPT, thus rendering the all data on the formally cached disk accessible in an alternate OS environment where appropriate caching software is not present.
