I would also think that it is some sort of recovery partition. Very common now to see NTFS partition and Fat32 partitions on Tier1 systems. Usually the FAT32 partition will be hidden and it is actually the first partition on the drive and the NTFS drive will be the working partition for XP or Vista. 7.5gb of a 20gb drive though seems a bit wasteful.
