That 10GB partition on the drive was placed there by the manufacturer of the
system to recover in case of an unrecoverable system corruption scenario. It
may be the only recovery option that you have in case of a disaster. It was
not meant to be used as extra storage space. It contains all of the Vista
installation files plus drivers for all of the installed hardware on that
machine. You may also void the warranty on the system if you do anything to
change that partition.
If you need extra storage space, just buy another internal or external hard
drive.
