It's probably the onboard cache of the SSD. What type of OCZ SSD is it? Apex? Vertex? Solid? Just confirming.
Either that or it's the backup windows files that usually linger in the D Drive, though that's kinda smallish for that.

There you go...asking all that technical jargonSmile  Ok, lets see, according to my configuration sheet..."120GB Solid State (by OCZ) Vertex Series (model: OCZSSDD-1VTX120G) --hope that answers your questions... 
 
Thing is.. when I go to "compter" and click on it...to see what files are in it...it says "this folder is empty".  But, then, how can it be empty and be taking up about 29GB of space??
 
Here's another (silly) question...  I notice at the top left-corner there are indicators like: "A-H (4), I-P(2), Q-Z(6).  Now, if the letters indicate what drives are within this section i.e. A-H...then why is FreeAgent Drive "(M)" and "(N)" also within this section??  Then there's the "C" and "G" drives in section I-P????

Hmm.. hard to dig up the cache of that version. Meh.. it's probably that. Temp files. No reason to really worry about it.
Oh.. and the A-H, I-P, etc... is listing the drives in order by the name of the drive. Hence why the "NAME" section is highlighted in the folder as the method of organization.

The 29GB I'm referring to is the difference between "70.9 MB Free" of the total 99.9 MB...   Ooops, just noticed I've been saying GB for MB...sorry, cleaned my glasses--must have GB on the brain.  Dead  Makes more sense now...
 
Guess all the "GB" stuff came from checking out the resources that some of my games take up:
Age of Empires.............. 2.11GB
Unreal Tournament 3.......7.87GB
The Club........................ 5.98GB
Left 4 Dead.................... 4.82GB

so you don't have a drive that is 99MB in size do you? its either a partition or cache or something.

29 MEGAbytes could be anything. It's probably just the cache of the SSD and maybe some other cache memory you have.

I've seen this system reserve on a bunch of systems here. I'm not sure myself on what it is for.
