what does this

What does this mean, this "PBR" crap?



I dunno what it is, I don't want it, and it shows up on the above screen only every so often.

It's the recovery partition for your computer.  Instead of having a set of CDs or DVDs to restore your computer, the software goes on part of the hard drive.

You can ignore it, but don't delete it.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

So I take it then, that it's good.

But what'll I do when it gets full?  Is it going to interfere with anything else?

The size of the data on the partition should be fixed unless it's being updated regularly as a backup image.

It shouldn't interfere with anything else.  It's usually created when the computer is first set up and is there for emergencies.

Okay, thanks.  I won't touch it.  I'll leave it be.
