Drive D is the initial "Ghost Load," from Acer. You can delete them all as they are all on your accompanied CD roms.

On my Ace
cross posted on acer support forum:
On my Acer c110, I decided to convert to ntfs--mostly for file reliability issues. The machine came in FAT32 and there was no automatic conversion on bootup as some have reported (perhaps on the C100 series).
Some issues:
1. The C: drive converted fine, but the D: drive refuses (it contains some recovery materials I think). Same results for others? Any more info on the D: drive, what it contains, whether we can reduce its size, etc.?
2. Standby problem. After the conversion, my modem driver prevented entering standby. Since I don't use the modem much, just disabled it and standby worked fine.
3. Recovery CDs. Finally, there are speed benefits of a straight ntfs format instead of converting from fat32. Anyone successfully clean format to ntfs, then do a restore with the provided cds? I've read some issues about the restore and wanted to learn more before trying any such thing.
Thanks in advance.

I did a convert from fat32 to ntfs yesterday. Seemed to run smooth. Afterward, bootup was horribly SLOW. Next I ran speed disk on both drives. WOW!!!! SLOW!!!!! Startup stills seems slower. Is it true that NTFS improves performance? I haven't seen it yet. What gives?

I had no problems converting both drives. It converted my D: drive and put all the files into a seperate directory then I combined both the C and the D into one with no problems. As far as speed, I have not been able to see a difference. Try using a program called partition magic.
