Is there any way to check if the drive is partitioned that doesn't involve a crowbar?

Assuming she's running Win2k or XP, go to Computer Management (Start->Programs->Administrative Tools, or Start->Run->compmgmt.msc)
Under the storage section, choose "Disk Management" - that will show you whether your sister has two separate hard drives or one drive that's been partitioned.
 
Hope this helps
