Hidden Partion on my work Dell I can only see from the Utility Partition.
Maybe try Computer Managment to see if it is seen in there.

Hal..my first laptop is a Dell..and when I started doing explorations into
it..I found that in Explorer, most of the system files were hidden.  I had
to and still have to check to make sure they aren't hidden, such as when I
do a search for a file..I have to make sure it checks hidden files.  I guess
Dell sets it up thinking we're all newbies when we get our laptops..or
sumthin'.  LOL

I've never seen a 'hidden' folder on a Dell. You do not have to format the
HD before installing Win XP. It will be formated during the installation.
Strongly suggest you format it using NTFS.
