Hey John, I have the same model as your family member. That partition is
basically what it says - to restore your computer to the original
factory condition. It will allow you to reformat and reinstall your
system software. I highly recommend creating your recovery disks if you
haven't already. You're only allowed to do this once. I've also created
a disk image of my entire system.

There is no reason to access that partition unless you have to reformat
and re-install everything. The message is normal. On my computer it is
only a 10GB with approx 1.60 GB available.
