You are right this is not really the right place to ask.. You should be asking your question in one of the Windows XP Support groups. You will be able to find these from the support option on the Windows XP Home page from www.microsoft.com.

But it sounds like when you first had your laptop built you had 2 partitions installed on your hardrive. Generally Notebooks are only shipped with one installed hard drive and some times have this formatted into two different partitions. To fix the problem and put one back on you are going to have to complete a reinstall or use a program like partition magic to create the new partition.
