Unwanted Reserved System Space

Fresh format and re-install of XP home SP1. The install was done from an OEM disk, then SP1 was applied, then updated fully via Windows Update.

Being a fresh install, it's pretty trim. However, Diskkeeper Lite reports a large lump of Reserved System Space on the C drive, (about one third of the current contents of the drive) which wasn't there on the previous installation. I'm wondering what it is, and can I get rid of it?

I run the page file on another partition, so it's not that. I think maybe it's a back-up of XP files created when SP1 was applied. If so I'd be happy to delete them, but I can't find a way to do it.

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks in advance,

AA
