This space may be used in by the xp system restore utility. This is used for restoring the system setting when things go wrong such installing a dodgy drive or something like that. You only realy need this active on the drive with xp installed on. You can change these setting by right clicking on My Computer -> Properties -> System Restore Tab. It is not recomended to turn this of on all drives.
Hope this helps
