It's called the 'recovery' partition. Various manufacturers will put recovery partitions on certain computer models and not others. Many (older) models came with recovery CDs or DVDs. Newer models expect you to burn recovery media from the recovery partition so that you can recover a system on a new hard drive if the old one fails. You can also try downloading from the computer company web site and burn it to recovery media.

How do you fix the bad video card drivers error for Minecraft on Windows XP I have tried the stuff in the device manager and the advanced settings and nothing is working so what else can I do?
Format and reinstall Windows XP Service Pack 3. Use Easeus Partition Master to format the partition where XP is installed, and afterwards create a new partition, name it and install Windows XP. If you don't know how to work with partitions, ask for help to an expert. After you have created a new partition to install the Windows XP SP3, use CCleaner to wipe entirely the free space in the HDD. It will take some hours but it Worth the job. Then, install again all the programs you are used to work with, including of course, Minecraft. Another providence is to run the system restoration instead reinstall the OS.
