Okay, I am really new to this, so please be patient...I am trying to create a server for HL2 DM. I installed hlsupdatetool and upgraded it. Now it is downloading everything. But I was wondering why I had to download all of this stuff if I already installed the game.

Because the DS runs using it's own files.
You should know that if you are installing on the same computer, you can't play and run a server on the same computer.

Can i create a new server within my computer, separate from the game itself, like on a separate drive?

No a g*y update Valve made apparently blocks you from joining ANY server if you are hosting/playing from the same computer. Different drive would not do it at all. What might work if you made a Virtual Machine on your PC but your peformence would fall :/.

That's because it's a dedicated server, I'm totally backing VALVe up at this, you shouldn't run a server on the same machine you are playing at.
