Could it be a recovery partition?

Some companies have a recovery partion and I believe it may tend to be FAT. However, this should only be a small fraction of the disk; it shouldn't be half the size of the disk as you are seeing.
Personally I recently got a new Windows computer with 250 GB disk consisting of a recovery and regular partition. The recovery partition size was only in the single digits GB. As far as partitions go I personally like multiple partitions even for regular use; the first thing I did with the new XP system is chop up the regular parition into 2; about 50GB (the smallest the default HP tools would let me) for the OS/Program stuff and the rest partioned for data (intended for images to be exact). I left the recovery partition intact.
I really go insane when I parition a *nix system (some partions get mounted read only, others noexec,nosuid, others are left unmounted at boot and only mounted when needed).
