"Predesktop Area is the name used for two different technologies:  Hidden 
Protected Area and  Rescue and Recovery."
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/PreDesktop_Area 

Seems to be an HPA situation.
Which basically, is an hidden by BIOS primary partition at the end of HD, made 
to help restore the "other" OS.

HPA is somehow, the previous technology before Rescue and Recovery which
is just a plain partition not hidden by BIOS.

More info on HPA, and pre-HPA technology in IBM whitepaper:
