Not an XP user, so just a thought. Some systems do not come with a installation disk (CD) but have the systems software on the drive. Since Tan says she does not have a system CD that may be what is on the Restore partition.

Just in case, it might be a good idea to copy that stuff over to CD's before she does anything else with the partition.

So D: should work fine as your scratch disk. It is probably named restore only because the person who set it up named it that. Unless, for some weird reason, XP is also stored on it (in addition to drive C:). But that would be highly unlikely since restore discs are usually separate CDs (or DVDs). So I wouldn't sweat what its volume name is (i.e scratch). You could even change it if you wanted in Windows Explorer. Sometimes people who set up computers (computer geeks) have their own weird personal preferences that are hard to decipher later.
