I mean what does a DVD/CD cost? Wholesale perhaps 25 cents? Sure, you can burn your own. No big deal to me, but to many... they will never do it....
The 'hidden disk' section is just a small SSD (around 512MByte) to accelerate the bootup. You don't have important data on it (if you delete it it will be recovered next time you boot).
