The D: drive is a partition set up by your computer manufacturer to enable you
to restore your computer to a factory shipped condition. It has NOTHING to do
with Vista's System Restore or Vista's backup features. Unless you made Restore
DVD's from the partition and you think that some time in the future you will
want to return to the factory condition, you should leave this partition alone
and not use it for anything at all.
If the low space warnings bother you, you can unassign a drive letter in
Computer Management > Disk Management.
