An 80GB harddrive normally has only about 76GB available. Some computers use a hidden partition for diagnostic uses. This is common on laptops. The unallocated partition may be used for something also.

They are usually in the 8MB range. Deleting them may not be a good idea. Just to gain that small amount of space may make your OS or diagnostic or repair programs inoperable. Was your computer set up when you got it? If so they may be necessary.

Windows also sets aside around 8mb of unallocated space. Don't worry about it. You can afford it.
