You have had an answer about that already: it's not that.

What is the default size Vista allocates for restore points? I haven't
changed it, I don't even know how to find out.

Roughly 15% of the drive. Read this for making adjustments:

I thought the space might be the space reserved by the OS for restore
points.

Hi JamesJ,

It's a leftover bit from aligning the partition, quite normal.

I have a 160mb internal hard drive with 1 partition (ntfs). Vista sp2.
When viewing drive info 3rd party software is showing the used space
and
also 10mb of unallocated space.
Anyone know what this unallocated space is?

Thanks,
James
