Best Answer

Unless you(or someone else) added a second hard drive since the purchase there is only one hard drive. Most of the major PC companies include a partition on the hard drive which contains the restore image in case anything goes wrong with windows to restore the system to factory defaults as if you just opened the box again and turned it on. They do this instead of giving you the windows CD so they can include their bloater ware such as HP help desk.
