chances are you only have 1 hard drive in a laptop, and it's partitioned into 2. as for replacing it, this is a little complicated... what i;ve done for clients int this case it to remove the drive and hook it up to my desktop using an adpter like this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3012908&Sku=C250-3890 then, copy all the info/partitions to my desktop and then do the same w/ the replacement drive, only in reverse. however, a better choice is to first try to upgrade your ram and maybe even change some of your settings like restore, virtual ram, and swap file.
