Hidden partitions are typically found on Brand name PCs such as HP (hewlette packard), Dell, Acer, and Gateway. This hidden, or system partition, is used to do system recoverys (not to be confused with system restore). The data for those partions contain everything needed to get you're system up and running should you have severe software problems (windows not starting, or crashes every now and then, or if you want to restart things like when it was brand new)
