I think that you do not get the extra sytem partition when you install into a predefined active primary partition (which is what you have now where your Windows 8 is installed) - at least that's how it works in Windows 7. I have never tried that with Windows 8 though.
But why would you want to reinstall anyhow. Make an image of your current Windows 8 installation and if something happens, just recover the image. And make new images from time to time so that you do not have to go back too far in time and redo all the updates and program installations that were done in the meantime - not to speak of your user data that may get lost unless you put that into a seperate data partition.
