You are prolly looking at the system partition for windows 7.

Windows automatically makes this partition and stores critical system data on it and it can't be gotten rid of.

During installation, if it asks for a install directory, you can change the drive letter/path to somewhere other than your C drive if you have additional drives in your computer.
