The Partition that the OS is on from the Recovery Partition.

It is just a normal Install but you chose to Format the Drive that the OS is on instead of just installing to the Drive that has Windows on it. Though I don't think with the Dell's you are given the option not to format. I believe that they do a format by default when you invoke the Recovery Partition. Remember that a Format is only a Partition it isn't for the entire HDD. ;)
