It Depends on the manufacturer of your PC whether you can create disks of the
operating system, most preinstalled environments have a hidden partition so
that you can boot from the manufacturers supplied boot disk and reinstall the
operating system.

i have a hp media center pc, what is a partition?

If you go to start..all programs..pc help and tools it should give you an
option to create disks there.

I don't actually own an HP machine, so Ricky may be the best advice to where
the location is for you to make the discs.

Just so that you know, if split a hard drive into smaller drives, this is
called partitioning and each smaller space is know as a partition.

That information should be in the manual that came with the computer.
It should also be available on the computer manufacturer's web site.
Different manufacturers use/provide different methods, so you'll have to
consult your specific manufacturer to learn the method that applies to you.
