I've now made an image of both partitions and blown away the original 
partitions, and it looks like the two partitions are almost identical, 
both seem to be Windows recovery partitions, even though only one of 
them is listed as a Windows recovery partition. In fact, the 13GB is all 
either of them needed, I'm not sure why Toshiba decided to make one 
24GB, it was nearly half empty. I'm not sure if maybe one of them was a 
32-bit Windows image, while the other one was 64-bit. But they both seem 
to contain directories named "64" inside. One could be a Toshiba-centric 
customization of Windows 7, or something.
